The national average for gas prices has hit an all-time low.
The national average stands at $2.95 per gallon, which is 8.5 cents less than a week ago, according to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 12 million individual price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country.
This average is down 6.9 cents from a year ago and 5.4 cents lower than a year ago.
“Nearly every state saw average gas prices fall heading into Thanksgiving, with the national average dipping below $3 per gallon for several consecutive days—falling to $2.95 per gallon over the weekend, the lowest level since May 2021,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “With refinery maintenance largely complete and OPEC increasing oil production for December, oil prices have struggled. Combine those factors, and you have a solid recipe for continued downward pressure on gas prices in the weeks ahead. A few dozen stations are already offering gas under $2 per gallon, and we could see that number grow as we move further into the holiday season. It couldn’t come at a better time for Americans—with relief arriving just as the holidays kick off.”
Here’s a look at prices by region according to EIA data, as of December 1:
- East Coast: $2.93
- Midwest: $2.74
- Gulf Coast: $2.60
- Rocky Mountain: $2.55
- West Coast: $4.03
All regions saw a price decrease this week.
