Trend Analysis:
The national average for a gallon of gas dropped five cents since last week to $3.36. Parked in the mid-$80s per barrel a week ago, oil is now hovering around the mid-$70s. Since it is the main ingredient in gasoline, less expensive oil usually leads to falling gas prices. Pump prices have fallen or remained flat every day since September 19. Today’s national average is 26 cents less than a month ago and 41 cents less than a year ago.
For this week, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) delayed its scheduled data releases, including its weekly estimates of gasoline supply and demand, to complete a planned systems upgrade. The EIA will resume its regular publishing schedule next week.
At the close of Wednesday’s formal trading session, West Texas Intermediate decreased by $2.04 to settle at $75.33. Oil prices fell this past week due to a stronger dollar and reduced market concerns that the conflict in the Middle East will escalate, which could lead to a reduction in regional oil production and higher prices.
