WASHINGTON, DC (July 10, 2025) – With summer road trips in full swing, drivers are getting a break at the pump, as gas prices match July 2021 numbers. The national average for a gallon of gas dipped as low as $3.14 this past week before going up a few cents to $3.17. It’s been four years since the national average has been this low during the summer. This season’s lower pump prices are due to an abundance of supply in the oil market. Halfway through the year, the national gas price comparison chart shows how steady prices have remained in 2025 compared to recent years. 

• Today’s National Average: $3.172 
• One Week Ago: $3.162 
• One Month Ago: $3.121 
• One Year Ago: $3.538 

According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand increased from 8.64 million b/d last week to 9.15. Total domestic gasoline supply decreased from 232.1 million barrels to 229.5. Gasoline production increased last week, averaging 9.9 million barrels per day. 

Oil Market Dynamics 

At the close of Wednesday’s formal trading session, WTI increased 5 cents to settle at $68.38 a barrel. The EIA reports that crude oil inventories increased by 7.1 million barrels from the previous week. At 426 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 8% below the five-year average for this time of year. 

EV Charging 

The national average per kilowatt hour of electricity at a public EV charging station stayed the same this past week at 36 cents.

WASHINGTON — As President Donald Trump heads to Texas on Friday for a firsthand look at the devastation caused by catastrophic flooding, he has remained conspicuously quiet about his previous promises to do away with the federal agency in charge of disaster relief, according to an Associated Press report.

The Trump administration isn’t backing away from its pledges to shutter the Federal Emergency Management Agency and return disaster response to the states. But since the July 4 disaster, which has killed at least 120 people, the president and his top aides have focused on the once-in-a-lifetime nature of what occurred and the human tragedy involved rather than the government-slashing crusade that’s been popular with Trump’s core supporters.

“Nobody ever saw a thing like this coming,” Trump told NBC News on Thursday, adding, ”This is a once-in-every-200-year deal.” He’s also suggested he’d have been ready to visit Texas within hours but didn’t want to burden authorities still searching for the more than 170 people who are still missing.

Trump’s shift in focus underscores how tragedy can complicate political calculations, even though Trump has made slashing the federal workforce and charging ally-turned-antagonist Elon Musk with dramatically shrinking the size of government centerpieces of his administration’s opening months.

Editor’s Note: The following message is from Topper’s RVs on the support they are offering those impacted by the recent Texas flooding.  

On the Fourth of July, the Texas Hill Country was forever changed. Historic flooding surged through the region in the middle of the night, devastating campgrounds and sweeping away RVs, tents and the people within them.

Our hearts are heavy for every family impacted.

Topper’s RVs of the Greater Houston area has always been part of the camping community, not just as a dealer, but as fellow travelers. Many of those affected were our neighbors, our customers and our friends. That’s why we’re stepping in to help however we can.

We’ve partnered with the Texas Association of Campground Owners (TACO) to provide immediate relief and ongoing support.

Effective immediately, Topper’s RVs will be offering $1,000 off all new RVs for those directly impacted by the Kerr County Flood, including delivery costs.

Additionally, a portion of those sales will go towards the Texas Hill Country Campgrounds and RV Parks Disaster Relief fund that was set up by the Texas Association of Campground Owners.

Additionally, RVers who have been displaced can now log in to view RV parks that have availability for impacted RVers and/or are offering special pricing.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said in a letter that he will raise taxes on many imported goods from Canada to 35%, deepening a rift between two North American countries that have suffered a debilitating blow to their decades-old alliance, according to an Associated Press report.

The Thursday letter to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is an aggressive increase to the top 25% tariff rates that Trump first imposed in March after months of threats. Trump’s tariffs were allegedly in an effort to get Canada to crack down on fentanyl smuggling despite the relatively modest trafficking in the drug from that country. Trump has also expressed frustration with a trade deficit with Canada that largely reflects oil purchases by America.

“I must mention that the flow of Fentanyl is hardly the only challenge we have with Canada, which has many Tariff, and Non-Tariff, Policies and Trade Barriers,” Trump wrote in the letter.

The higher rates would go into effect Aug. 1, creating a tense series of weeks ahead for the global economy as recent gains in the S&P 500 stock index suggest many investors think Trump will ultimately back down on the increases. But stock market futures were down early Friday in a sign that Trump’s wave of tariff letters may be starting to generate concern among investors.

AUSTIN, Texas — Roamly, a global leader in digital insurance technology and solutions, today (July 11) announces its appointment as a Lloyd’s Coverholder. This prestigious designation signifies delegated underwriting authority from Lloyd’s of London, reinforcing Roamly’s deep expertise in complex, specialized underwriting, a capability crucial for powering mobility solutions like carsharing, according to a release.

Launched in February 2021 as an insurtech division and wholly owned subsidiary of Outdoorsy, a peer-to-peer RV sharing platform (See: “Outdoorsy Launches ‘Roamly’ as New Insurtech Division”), Roamly offers a technologically advanced platform that provides insurance companies with AI-enabled software modules to develop insurance products, increase speed to market, and mitigate risk.

With its Lloyd’s Coverholder approval, Roamly is empowered to underwrite and insure customers directly on Lloyd’s balance sheet, reflecting the highest level of trust and confidence in Roamly’s underwriting capabilities to foster the evolution and growth of the sharing and on-demand economy, the release continued.

A New Standard for Global Insurance Expertise

Lloyd’s of London is the world’s leading insurance and reinsurance marketplace. The Coverholder designation is a recognition of Roamly’s underwriting expertise and discipline to Lloyd’s standards. As a Lloyd’s Coverholder, Roamly steps into a rarified

class of global insurers with capacity to innovate and introduce new offerings for marketplaces faster and with greater credibility to customers across the U.S. and Canada.

Leadership Perspectives on a Milestone Achievement

“Becoming a Lloyd’s Coverholder is an exceptional achievement, as only a select number of outstanding partners are approved each year. This designation underscores Roamly’s commitment to being actuarially led delivering low loss ratios paired with best-in-class insurance products and backed by financial strength, said Jeff Cavins, CEO of the Outdoorsy Group. “More importantly, it’s a critical enabler for the future of shared mobility. From RVs and campervans to carshare and emerging transportation models like cybercabs, the sharing economy demands specialized, agile insurance. This appointment positions Roamly to introduce new offerings faster and with greater credibility, expanding our marketplace offerings to partners and providing even greater value to customers who are embracing new ways to travel and share assets. It reinforces our role as a trusted brand in the specialty insurance space, ready to power the next wave of innovation.”

The sharing and on-demand marketplaces have complex needs given the multiple buyers and sellers and when the physical products are maintained and used by owners and when they are rented or loaned. Insurance can be barriers to growth and evolution of marketplaces with their complex needs. Roamly’s marketplace insurance expertise coupled with Lloyd’s Coverholder capabilities can unleash a new level of growth for marketplace economies.

Christopher Moore, President of Apollo ibott 1971, who supported the Lloyd’s Coverholder designation of Roamly, said, “Consistent with our goal to build long-term sustainable insurance partnerships for our future, we look forward to ongoing partnership and collaboration with Roamly. Since we first met, we were impressed with Roamly’s clear underwriting framework and risk management for specialized vehicles and marketplaces. Roamly has a track record for introducing new, high-quality offerings to niche markets like on-demand, shared marketplaces, and I’m excited to be teaming up on what we create together.”

Driving Future Growth in the Sharing, On-Demand Economy and Beyond into Mobility

Roamly’s appointment marks a significant milestone in its mission to redefine the insurance landscape and to create new opportunities in marketplaces, further solidifying its reputation as a trusted partner in the sharing and on-demand economy and mobility

market. It enables Roamly to offer highly tailored insurance solutions for marketplaces, backed by the unmatched financial strength and global reputation of Lloyd’s of London. This level of authority enhances Roamly’s ability to innovate and respond quickly to customer needs while maintaining the highest underwriting standards. For policyholders, it means greater confidence in the reliability and security of their coverage, solidifying Roamly’s position as a leader in specialized insurance for the entire spectrum of the sharing, on-demand, and future mobility economies.
