“The downward momentum has indeed gained steam, with the national average declining over the last week with virtually every village, town, city, region, and state seeing gasoline prices fall,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, a provider of real-time gas price information from over 150,000 stations.
“While the price of oil jumped 5% last week, I still believe that gasoline prices will continue to decline based on the current situation. However, I caution that this could change depending on unforeseen events, particularly the conflict in the Middle East.
“For now, the national average is likely to reach its lowest level in six months. I anticipate that the average price will decline by an additional 15 to 35 cents based on current conditions.”
