Could approach $7 in some places but the entire nation will be over well over $4 a gallon  by May.

The national average price of gas at the pump could top around $4 a gallon in most major US cities as early as May next year, De Haan said, from $3.18 on Friday. Cities in the West Coast state of California, such as San Francisco and Los Angeles, could see gas prices approach nearly $7 a gallon in the summer of 2023, according to GasBuddy.

Wait for electricity rates to sky rocket !!! Gas will be cheap !!

Actually prices of electricity are starting to come down.

https://www.wmur.com/amp/article/eversource-decrease-supply-rate-new-hampshire-12822/42192671

a lot warmer winter across the northern hemisphere has put pretty big downward pressure on the price of natural gas…. Natural gas prices are at 9 month lows which puts downward movement on electric prices.


 

now Gas and diesel prices…. As China comes back online the global supply will not keep up with global demand.

Collapsing oil prices

 

Oil prices surged over the first half of 2022 as a result of persistent supply blockages and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and have remained volatile throughout the remainder of the year. They declined 35% between June 14 and Nov. 28, with output cuts from OPEC+ and hopes for an economic resurgence in China preventing the slide from accelerating further.

Russian oil exports could fall by two million barrels per day by end-2023, The Fitch Group says

However, Robertson suggested that a deeper-than-expected global recession, including a delayed Chinese recovery on the back of an unexpected surge in Covid-19 cases, could lead to a “significant collapse in oil demand” across even previously resilient economies in 2023.

Should a resolution of the Russia-Ukraine conflict occur, this would remove the “war-related risk premia” — the additional rate of return investors can expect for taking more risk — from oil, causing prices to lose around 50% of their value in the first half of 2023, according to Robertson’s list of “potential surprises.”

 

“With oil prices falling quickly, Russia is unable to fund its military activities beyond Q1-2023 and agrees to a ceasefire. Although peace negotiations are protracted, the end of the war causes the risk premium that had supported energy prices to disappear completely,” Robertson speculated.

“Risk related to military conflict had helped to keep front contract prices elevated relative to deferred contracts, but the decline in risk premia and the end of the war see the oil curve invert in Q1-2023.”

In this potential scenario, the collapse in oil prices would take international benchmark Brent crude from its current level of around $79 per barrel to just $40 per barrel, its lowest point since the peak of the pandemic.

The downward trend in gas prices is expected to continue.

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - Gas prices continue to drop significantly in Omaha as 2022 winds to a close.

According to AAA, on Wednesday the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded in Omaha was about $2.78.

Compare that to a month ago around Thanksgiving, when the average was $3.30 per gallon -- or six months ago in June, when the price hit a yearly high of $4.83.

AAA of Nebraska’s Brian Ortner says two key factors are driving this downward trend.

“Obviously when we get in the colder driving months, the demand for gas goes down because people aren’t driving as much. Even with record travel between Christmas and the New Year’s holiday, we are seeing record numbers, but overall winter driving is down. So that helps drive the cost down. The supply is there, the demand is not. It balances itself out. Also, the cost of crude oil has gone down. We are at about $80 a barrel.”

Ortner says the decline in gas prices is really helping family budgets. For example, if you drive a car or SUV with a 20-gallon tank, filling up during June’s peak at $4.83 per gallon would have cost you about $96. In November, it would have been about $66. Today it’s roughly $55 -- a savings of $11 per tank from last month -- and more than $40 per tank from June.

The good news is AAA is predicting this downward trend will continue into 2023 until the weather gets warmer and people travel more.

Prepare to pay more at the gas pump. The state's gas tax is going up 17 percent come January, or 4.2 cents, to make it 29 cents a gallon.

But the Nebraska Department of Transportation says these rates are adjusted every six months to account for anticipated new costs.
