Gas Prices Could Jump 30 Cents a Gallon by July Fourth, Analysts Say
- Gas prices in the Gary metro area, part of Northwest Indiana, rose 3.5 cents last week to an average of $3.30 a gallon amid Middle East tensions.
- The rise comes after U.S. oil stockpiles dropped sharply by 10 million barrels, combined with the ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran, which analysts warn could lead to increased price fluctuations.
- Experts note that geopolitical events, refinery issues near Chicago, and summer travel demand contribute to rising prices in states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana.
- Patrick De Haan noted that ongoing conflicts in the Middle East could keep oil prices volatile, increasing the likelihood of further price changes, while GasBuddy forecasts that gas prices will rise by the end of the week.
- These factors suggest consumers should expect continued price increases soon, with potential rises up to 25 cents per gallon in some areas if the situation escalates further.
