“After a few weeks of rising gas prices, the national average has reversed course, declining as we close out 2024,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “2024 will mark the second consecutive year of a decline in the national average. (On Tuesday), GasBuddy will release the 2025 Fuel Price Outlook, offering insights into what motorists can expect in the year ahead. In the week ahead, we’ll likely see gas prices fall in some states, while the Great Lakes region may experience another price cycle. Overall, I expect the national average to remain mostly stable.”
