Gas Prices Forecast to Continue Downward Trend

(Undated) – Gas prices are forecast to continue to decline. According to GasBuddy Head of Petroleum Analysis, Patrick De Haan, while this week saw average gasoline prices moving higher again in the West, most of the nation saw a noticeable decline in gasoline prices. However, with California allowing the transition to “winter gasoline” to begin immediately, easing supply concerns, we’re likely to see nearly the entire country see gasoline prices trend lower in the week ahead. He says while the trend is likely to be a strong one to the downside, small issues here and there could temporarily delay the onset of lower prices, but for now, motorists need not be in any rush, lower gas prices are on the way for every U.S. state in the weeks ahead. The current national average is $3.78 a gallon.
