TREE NEWS reports: The US Energy Information Administration raised its 2027 average retail gasoline price forecast to $3.73 a gallon from $3.56 projected in October, citing expectations of continued tight global fuel supply. It also lifted its diesel forecast for next year to $5.03 a gallon from $4.49. The forecasts were included in the Short-Term Energy Outlook completed on November 5.
EIA Raises 2027 US Gasoline and Diesel Price Forecasts
The EIA's upward revision to both gasoline and diesel forecasts signals that the agency sees tightness in refined-product markets persisting well beyond the near term, not just as a spot disruption. Diesel's larger upward revision is the more telling detail, since distillates feed freight, agriculture and industrial activity, so the revision implies cost pressure that could bleed into broader goods pricing. The open question is whether the tight-supply assumption behind these numbers holds, or whether it reflects a snapshot that later data revises.
