Special Release 2/17/21 – Motorists should brace themselves for even higher gas prices in the days ahead, enhanced by the extreme cold weather hitting much of the country. According to GasBuddy, the national average price of gasoline may jump 10-20 cents per gallon from its current price of $2.54 per gallon over the next two weeks as millions of barrels of refining capacity have gone offline due to the extreme cold in the South. Little relief is predicted on the horizon as overall gasoline demand continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
