Polymarket traders assign just 15% implied probability to US national average gasoline prices hitting $4 per gallon by March 31, driven by a sharp 12% drop in WTI crude to $78/bbl amid softening global demand and robust US inventories. Current EIA-reported average stands at $3.22/gal, 18% below year-ago levels, supported by refinery utilization near 92% capacity and mild winter weather curbing heating oil pull. Key upside risks include potential Red Sea disruptions inflating shipping costs or spring break travel boosting demand, with Thursday's EIA weekly petroleum status report and OPEC+ output signals critical catalysts before resolution. Downside momentum favors further declines unless oil rebounds above $85.
