Comment on the April 6 prediction: Basically CORRECT, as prices fell all last week, as low as $2.75 in Greenville. Some stubborn stations remain above $3.19, though.
Sunday, April 13, 2025, 3 PM: Last week, oil dropped below $60 a barrel before recovering a bit at the end of the week. Wholesale gas prices have been following, albeit slowly. Our tell is Costco, as their price is a reasonable estimate of the 0-cent margin price. For the Costco that I follow in Grand Rapids, a gallon of gas went from $3.24 on April 3 to $2.88 this afternoon. Unless something newly bizarre happens with this “trade war”, prices should continue to drop across the board, towards $2.69 a gallon. If nothing else, look for stations under $3 a gallon. -EA
