"Oil prices have surged to nearly $74 per barrel, the highest level in months, driven by optimism that China's recent economic policy shifts could boost oil demand, resulting in one of the largest weekly climbs in U.S. gas prices in months," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "While the national average dipped below $3 per gallon for a few days in recent weeks, those days are likely behind us. GasBuddy's 2025 Fuel Outlook, released last week, forecasts continued slight increases at the pump in the weeks ahead, before the larger seasonal spike begins in mid-to-late February and lasts through spring."
