“As expected, the deep freeze during the last week impacted more than just the air temperature, but also kept a grip on gasoline prices,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. “We saw very little change in the national average during the last seven days, and it’s likely that the winter blues continue to lead to an overall dull next few weeks at gasoline pumps across much of the country. Due to the slow demand that January and February typically see, it’d really take a monumental ice breaker to crack the grip that holds the national average in place. I forsee prices remaining relatively quiet this week,” DeHaan said.
