“With the sharp gas price increases on the West Coast now fading, the national average has dipped slightly over the past week. While some areas are seeing increases, others are experiencing stability or even slight declines, as the bulk of the seasonal transition has yet to significantly impact gasoline prices – certainly good news for motorists,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “Oil prices have remained steady in the low $70s, but we continue to monitor key developments, including ongoing talks between the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine on a potential agreement. However, as we inch closer to March, the typical March madness will eventually take hold, so motorists may want to enjoy the slight decline while it lasts. While I don’t see an abrupt spike in the national average just yet, we’re likely to see upward movement in the weeks ahead.”
