This week's Energy Information Administration "Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update" shows that this streak has come to an end. Average US gas prices ticked up from $2.044/gal on January 26 to $2.068 on February 2.
That still leaves prices well below the $3.292/gal they were a year ago, even though the price crash of the last few months has at least temporarily paused:
