    Gas Price Prediction for the Weekend of February 6 - 7, 2010

    Posted to the Web February 8, 2010, 8:30 AM EST.

    Released to subscribers February 5, 2010, 5:30 PM EST.

    Change in Futures (Avg.): -0.062

    Change in 2nd-Lowest Retail (Avg.): -0.022

    Pressure (Avg.): -0.112

    Trend for tomorrow: Down

    Trend for next 2-3 days: Down

    Recommendation for tonight: Hold off and buy gas tomorrow.

    Notes:

    1. Average pressure is moderately downward, and this is a fair representation of the local picture. Pressure ranges from weak to strong, but it is solidly downward everywhere in the U.S. going into the Super Bowl Weekend. Downward pressure is generally stonger toward the west, and weaker toward the east. Expect to see price decreases of at least a penny or two just about anywhere in the U.S. this weekend, and approaching 5 cents per gallon in California.
    2. The average retail price among all 34 cities we monitor fell by 1.1 cents today, but the average among the 12 cities in our national model fell by 2.2 cents per gallon. That is why the change we reported on Twitter at mid-day today was less than what we are reporting now. The main reason for this difference is that all of the price increases today occurred among cities that are not included in our national model, and more than half of the cities we use in the national model had price decreases today.
    3. We have made some changes to the list of cities where we monitor gas prices. We are no longer monitoring prices in Akron, Cincinnati, or Columbus, Ohio, as we have had virtually no success in adapting our prediction algorithm to work in these three cities. We are adding four cities as of 2/4/2010, all in Michigan: Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids and Cheboygan. The first three represent an environment rather similar to Ohio, where several large cities are close enough that they might interact with each others' pricing situations. Cheboygan will serve as a distant check on the interactions among the larger, closer cities. We will not know whether we will be able to make any real use of gas price data from these cities until we accumulate a little historical data, but for now, these cities will be included among the 34 cities we monitor.
    4. The price war near Seattle is weaker, but much more widespread today. Prices in several outlying cities are about 7 cents per gallon cheaper than in Seattle. These conditions exist both to the northeast and to the south of Seattle. It is likely that this price war will contribute to large price decreases in Seattle proper over the weekend.

    LOCAL EDITIONS STILL AVAILABLE (but selling out fast):

    Why Subscribe? For the past couple of months, gas prices have been climbing steadily, so what's the big deal about a prediction? Prices are simply going up, right? Not really! Once in a while, prices halt in their upward trend, and even move downward. That is your opportunity to save money on gas. If you know when prices are going to fall, and you make sure you have room in your tank to take advantage of it, you'll stretch your gas budget. And that's what GasPredictor.com is all about! Subscribe today, while you still can!
