Gas prices jump in SC and across the country

It is not surprising that gasoline prices continue to follow higher oil prices, as the national average is now at its highest level since January 2020, as Pay with GasBuddy data shows that demand for gasoline in the U.S. it increased by more than two percent last week, ”said GasBuddy’s chief oil analyst Patrick De Haan said. “The increase in gasoline prices continues to be driven by improved demand in the United States and it has nothing to do with who stays at the White House, but rather with how many drivers are filling their tanks daily, and from that data it is not a assumption, but prices will continue to rise. This situation will last as long as OPEC continues to restrict its oil production, creating the situation where demand is recovering faster than demand. The situation will not improve, just wait until spring, the national average is likely to rise another 10 to 50 cents per gallon if oil production does not respond to the continuous recovery in demand ”.
