Polymarket traders assign slim odds to U.S. average gas prices hitting $4/gallon by March 31, primarily driven by softening WTI crude at $78/barrel—down 5% weekly—amid surging U.S. shale output exceeding 13.2 million bpd and EIA-reported gasoline inventories up 2.7 million barrels. Recession signals from inverted yield curves curb demand, offsetting seasonal refinery maintenance risks. Key watchpoints include next week's EIA petroleum report on February 28 and potential OPEC+ quota tweaks, with spring break travel yet to ignite consumption; historical precedents show sub-$3.20 averages persisting through Q1 slowdowns, tempering upside surprises.
