Gas Prices Remain “Volatile”

(Undated) — Gas prices have been “volatile” over the last week. According to GasBuddy Head of Petroleum Analysis, Patrick De Haan, over the past week, roughly half of the 50 states saw prices decline while the other half experienced increases. De Haan says oil prices, which had fallen into the $50 per barrel range at the height of Trump’s trade war, have since rallied and are now holding in the low $60s, leading to rising gas prices in some states. He says he expects the national average to bounce around in the $3.10 to $3.20 per gallon range over the coming week. De Haan says GasBuddy will be watching for any market developments, but for now, the market appears to be in a holding pattern. The current national average is $3.14 a gallon.
