Expert Insights
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, attributed the relatively stable gas prices to weak seasonal demand but warned of potential increases.
“Oil prices have climbed to their highest level since October due to President Biden’s new sanctions on ‘dark vessels,’ which could reduce supply from countries like Iran,” said De Haan. “Additionally, the upcoming refinery maintenance season may limit gasoline production, potentially triggering a spring rally in prices.”
