> We're seeing June numbers. Gas prices lately have plunged relative to where they were

This doesn't match what I am seeing. Gas prices seem just as high as they were a month ago, if not slightly higher.

Over US Gasoline prices have dropped almost 7% in the past 30 days, in the middle of the summer. That's a pretty drastic drop.

Well, it would be nice to be where they are dropping that much. According to GasBuddy's charts Portland, Or has only seen a 2-3% drop in prices since the peak.

They are down about 7% over two weeks in my New England city. A bit moreso in the rural areas. OP can call it a "plunge" but it's down from literally the highest I've seen it in recent history to just slightly less of the highest I've seen it in recent history.
