WASHINGTON (TND) Motorists should expect to see gas prices continue to rise, at least during the first half of the new year.
On Wednesday, GasBuddy released its Fuel Price Outlook for 2022, projecting the yearly national average for a gallon of gas will be $3.41. They predict the average household will pay $2,341 for gas during the year, up from 2021's average of $1,977.
Supply and demand: those are the fundamentals that direct the price of oil and I think the imbalances brought on by COVID-19 that weve seen push prices up so far this year are going to continue to play a role next year," GasBuddy's head petroleum analyst Patrick De Haan said.
The outlook lays out the highest daily averages for major cities. They range from $3.50 to $3.75 in Houston to $5.25 to $5.65 in San Francisco.

(25,261 posts)and now we see that the gas prices will drop by the end of the year.
Guess what's happening folks?
The oil companies are going to keep the prices high through the election - so the Repugs can blame high gas prices on the Dems and Biden.
Then if/when the Repugs take over the House - the prices will drop.
The Repugs will say - see - it's because of them that the gas prices are dropping. They'll campaign on that in 2024. You should vote for our Repug presidential nominee in 2024.

(9,823 posts)until its high enough to change behavior.
People are still sitting at the curb with engines idling for long periods of time. People are still commuting long distances, alone, to and from work. People are still taking a car or truck to errands less than a mile away. People are still buying large SUVs and pickups with little or need for their capacity.
Meanwhile, were basing electoral success on whether gas is too high or too low at 3 dollars a gallon.
Really, this is some stupid shit.
