Eau Claire (WQOW) - As many traveled this holiday weekend, they weren't finding relief at the pump. But experts say that could be on the way. A number of factors are likely to lower gas prices fairly soon.   First, the damage from Hurricane Isaac is not believed to be serious, which should allow gulf coast refineries to get back to work quickly.  And as the summer driving season ends, and refiners switch to cheaper winter blends of gasoline, prices could drop by as much as 20 cents a gallon over the next month or so.
