At the close of NYMEX trading Friday, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil settled at $52.20 per barrel, seven cents lower than last Friday’s close. EIA’s new weekly report prompted crude price increases earlier this week after it showed total domestic crude inventories declined last week, the largest weekly decline since late July 2020. However, price gains continue to be limited by ongoing market concern that crude demand may take more time than expected to recover this year due to new coronavirus infections and associated travel restrictions.
The Weekend
“Local motorists have seen little movement at the pump this week, in contrast to other states around the country,” said Jana L. Tidwell, manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic. “Although the price increase seems to be slowing locally, continued higher crude oil prices could sustain gas prices rather than seeing them drop as they typically do during winter months.”
AAA has a variety of resources to help motorists save on fuel:
AAA is the most comprehensive resource for gas prices. Unlike the Lundberg Survey of 7,000 gas stations, AAA reports reflect actual prices from credit card transactions at more than 100,000 gas stations in the U.S.
