National average gas price fell to around $2.95 per gallon due to lower crude prices, higher refinery output, and increased oil production despite holiday travel demand.
- Gas prices have fallen below $3 per gallon, the lowest since May 9, 2021, according to GasBuddy Head of Petroleum Analysis Patrick De Haan.
- All 50 states experienced a decline in average gas prices over the past week, indicating an unusual broad decrease.
- The drop in prices is attributed to easing crude oil costs, increased refinery output, and softer seasonal fuel demand, as reported by GasBuddy.
