“Average gasoline prices declined in 40 states over the last week as falling oil prices helped offset earlier price cycling in many markets, bringing relief to motorists after several states had already seen sharp increases,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
De Haan said lower oil prices were driven in part by optimism surrounding a potential U.S.-Iran agreement, which reduced geopolitical pressure on energy markets. He added that recent U.S. Central Command defensive strike reports underscore the potential for rapid shifts in market conditions.
