Where will Gasoline at the pump be in seven days?

DataSnack's read
Pump prices move slowly, so each weekly change tends to carry on a little
Gasoline at the pump feeds household budgets and business costs, so slow drift matters. The model's case rests on about 0.2 of each recent move carrying on, giving $3.94/gal, though it was off by 55¢ a day against 15¢ for no change.}

How the model works
With too little history to rank inputs, the model starts from today's pump price and adds a fraction of its recent weekly move, since pump prices adjust slowly.
- About 0.2 of each recent move in the pump price carries on over the following week. DataSnack's estimate, not yet tested on data.
