"So far, 2025 has been relatively calm at the pump for most Americans, thanks in part to OPEC’s ongoing restoration of oil production and continued uncertainty surrounding tariff policy and its potential impact on the global economy. "

"For now, the good news is that gas prices typically reach their yearly peak around April 10, so we may have already witnessed 'peak pain' at the pump for 2025. "

⛽ "While the national average price of gasoline saw its largest weekly gain of the year, it likely won’t last long, as oil prices have plummeted amid growing concerns about the global economy..." says petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan with GasBuddy price reports.

⛽️ "...this decline shouldn't necessarily be celebrated, as it comes with strong warning signs. When the economy slows, gasoline demand drops— along with demand for other refined products like diesel and jet fuel. We've already seen some signals that the months ahead could be challenging."

"The average price of gasoline in the U.S. hasn't been this low in March since 2021, when the pandemic significantly reduced demand and kept prices suppressed" says petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan.

⛽ According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Wyoming was priced at $2.39/g yesterday while the most expensive was $3.69/g, a difference of $1.30/g.

⛽The cheapest gas in Natrona County as of Feb. 24 is $2.65/gallon at Sinclaire and Conoco on East 2nd Street.

⛽ The cheapest gas in Casper is priced at $2.61/g at the Exxon on 400 Valley Drive. The national average is unchanged from a month ago and stands 16.5 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.

"I continue to be optimistic that the national average will remain under $4 per gallon for most of, if not the entire summer, with Americans spending a combined $1.6 billion less on gasoline over Memorial Day weekend this year compared to last."

"We're likely to soon see gasoline prices slip to their largest year on year deficit since Covid hit..." says petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan.
