“We have seen the national average thumb for the second consecutive week, but with refinery problems renewed on the west coast, the gas prices are likely to jump from 10 to 35 cents the gallon in the coming weeks,” said Patrick de Haan, responsible for oil analysis in Gasbuddy, who provides information on real -time gas prices at more than 150,000 stations.

“While we are heading in April, the Americans should expect the gas prices to increase, with a peak that could occur from the half in April. Although average prices remain well below last year levels, we will probably start to catch up, prices that should increase in most – if not all – states in the coming weeks.

“The uncertainty continues as to the implementation of the prices will be implemented on April 2 could also have an impact on the prices of the pumps, preparing the path for a volatile period for the American drivers.”
