“It was only a matter of time before the national average began to rise, with oil prices last week reaching their highest level since July. Diesel prices have also jumped, driven by cold weather that has boosted heating oil demand,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “In addition, with President Trump’s inauguration tomorrow, there could be price impacts depending on the executive orders he is preparing to sign. We’ll be closely monitoring potential impacts from any orders, while the threat of tariffs and possible retribution from Canada remain top of mind. However, the current increase is not yet the traditional seasonal rise, which is also likely to push prices higher and could begin in a few weeks.”
