Why it matters
GasBuddy’s petroleum analysis head, De Haan, stated that the price decline is typically seasonal, linked to refiners completing maintenance and ramping up output as demand fades with cooler weather. However, the report noted that diesel and jet fuel have only decreased by 2-5% since September.
