“Oil prices have remained steady in the low $70s, but we continue to monitor key developments, including ongoing talks between the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine on a potential agreement,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “However, as we inch closer to March, the typical March madness will eventually take hold, so motorists may want to enjoy the slight decline while it lasts. While I don’t see an abrupt spike in the national average just yet, we’re likely to see upward movement in the weeks ahead.”
