National Average Gas Price Dips During Holiday Travel Season

This holiday season is bringing welcome relief at the pump, with gas prices dipping as millions of travelers take to the roads in record numbers. The national average has fallen 6 cents over the past week to $2.85, marking the cheapest December since late 2020. Crude oil prices remain low, and even with holiday‑driven demand on the rise, gasoline supplies are holding steady. Overall, 2025 has been a notably stable year for fuel costs, with minimal fluctuations and no major price spikes.

What causes fluctuations in gasoline prices?

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the price of crude oil is the main factor affecting the price of gasoline.

“Strong and increasing demand for gasoline and other petroleum products in the United States and the rest of the world can place intense pressure on available supplies,” the EIA website states.

According to the EIA, other factors that can affect prices include” disruptions in crude oil supplies, refinery operations, or gasoline pipeline deliveries.”

There are also seasonal changes in demand that cause price fluctuations throughout the year.
