“Gas prices nationally saw little change over the last week, though several price-cycling states did experience notable jumps,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “The good news is that once prices rise in these markets, they often retreat for a week or longer afterward. While the situation in Venezuela has dominated headlines, it’s far too early for any measurable impact on what consumers are paying at the pump— whether prices go up or down— as it would likely take years to see a meaningful increase in oil output there. For now, gas prices remain seasonally lower, but with oil prices inching higher, the national average could soon see some limited upward movement.”
