“The national median gasoline price has risen for the fifth straight week as retailers pass on the rise in wholesale gasoline prices amid ongoing challenges: refinery utilization, which has still not fully recovered from December’s cold weather, and refinery maintenance season, which is now is around the corner,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
“There appears to be little good news on the gas price front as prices are unlikely to reverse any time soon. Due to the price hike last spring, many refineries that had scheduled maintenance postponed maintenance to 2023. With the can being pushed back to this year, we may face similar challenges in producing enough refined product to meet demand, especially if the European Union cuts refined product out of Russia from February 5.”
