Gas prices decline to lowest prices all year right before the holidays

Call it a Christmas miracle or maybe just the effect of higher demand, higher supply and a free market, but gas prices across the U.S. are down. The national average fell more than 5 cents, averaging $2.86 per gallon this week, which is down 26 cents from a month ago and 21 cents from a year ago.

Lower prices will save motorists over half a billion dollars during the Christmas week compared to last year, gasbuddy.com reported. In metro areas like Toledo, Minneapolis and Detroit, average gasoline prices fell nearly 40 cents in the last week, according to a GasBuddy analysis. And virtually every state is at a 2025 low.
