Usually after the 1st of June, we see the price of gas jump since all gas suppliers and gas stations need to be switched over the the "Summer Blend" of gas.

The government calls for gas producers to make "Summer Blend" gas during the warmer months. This blend has lower volatility, making it less likely to evaporate while sitting in your car’s gas tank in the heat. It is also less likely to emit harmful fumes into the atmosphere.

The problem is that it costs more to make the "Summer Blend" of gas than the "Winter Blend" so we usually see the price of gas increase in the summer.
