Polymarket traders assign slim odds to gas prices hitting $4 per gallon by March 31, mirroring the national average of $3.22 from AAA data amid softening crude benchmarks. WTI crude has slid 6% this month to around $78 per barrel, pressured by a surprise 3.7 million barrel EIA gasoline inventory build and subdued winter demand. Refining margins remain compressed at $0.12 per gallon, while Red Sea disruptions have eased without spiking shipping costs. Upside risks include seasonal spring break travel boosting consumption, but the next EIA weekly report on Thursday and OPEC+ cuts decision March 3 tilt sentiment bearish, with market-implied probability under 15%.
