Christmas gift at the pump: Gas prices hit 4-year low for holiday travelers nationwide

Gas prices have hit their lowest level in four years, leaving a little extra room in the budget for everything else that comes with the season.

Some 122.4 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles from home over the holiday period of Saturday, Dec. 20, to Thursday, Jan. 1, AAA projects.

Over 8 million travelers will take domestic flights — while 109.5 million Americans will be traveling by car for their year-end trips, the report noted.

In 2024, the national average price of gas was $3.04. This year the national average has dropped to its lowest in the past four years.

4 year low ... what happened in 2021?  Joe Biden took office.  Joe Biden was still President in 2022, 2023, and 2024 when inflation wasn't so 'transitory'. What happened in 2025? Trump took office.  Hmmph.  :pondering:

The only thing that was 'transitory' during the Biden years were school-aged children.

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

I paid $2.78 -- but further south than you.  We'll eventually see those prices here.

Lower fuel prices should lower food prices. A lot of fuel is required to farm, process and transport food.

I'll believe that when it happens.
