The Best and Worst Case Scenarios for Gas Prices. A Petroleum Analyst Gives His Take Amid the Ceasefire in Iran.

Patrick De Haan said a ceasefire in Iran could keep U.S. gas near mid-$3 a gallon, while a disruption could push prices to $6 or $7.

  • GasBuddy Head of Petroleum Analysis Patrick Haan warns Americans could see mid-$3 gas prices this summer at best, though worst-case scenarios might reach record-setting costs of $6 or $7 per gallon.
  • Confusion over the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's ceasefire has created market volatility; Haan noted oil prices are 'pricing in what's happening' and potential future regional developments.
  • Prices are already jumping noticeably in Minneapolis, Des Moines, and Denver; Haan stated some motorists may see only minor decreases over the weekend despite recent oil plummets.
  • The Trump administration, like the Biden administration, is waiving rules to allow E15 fuel sales; this waiver will not reduce prices for regular gasoline Americans primarily use.
  • People should prepare for potential price increases and consult trusted news sources to avoid social misinformation, as global oil displacement makes it difficult to predict developments beyond 48 hours.
