Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, commented on the recent price fluctuations, stating, “Average gasoline prices in the U.S. have been volatile over the past week, with roughly half of the 50 states seeing prices decline while the other half experienced increases.” He further noted the impact of rising oil prices, which have rallied from the $ 50-per-barrel range to the low $60s.
De Haan anticipates continued volatility in the near term, predicting that “the national average to bounce around in the $3.10 to $3.20 per gallon range over the coming week, with a continued mixed bag for consumers—about half of the states may see prices inch lower, while the other half could experience increases.” He added that GasBuddy will be closely monitoring market developments but currently sees the market in a “holding pattern.”
