“Last week, the rise in gasoline prices continued, still due to previous refinery outages caused by the cold weather the week of Christmas,” said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “However, I’m optimistic that as refiners get back online, we could see the increases slow down as we head into the time of year when gasoline demand is at its weakest. While gasoline prices have rallied, average diesel prices continue to drift lower, which certainly bodes well for the overall economy. As long as refiners are able to get back online soon from previous coldweathe­r outages, we could see supply start to recover at the same time demand is weak, which could bring gas prices down again. The window of opportunit­y, however, is shrinking, and by late February or early March, we’ll likely kick off the seasonal rise in gasoline prices.”
