Gas Prices Could Fall to Pandemic Levels

(Undated) — The nation’s average price of gasoline has fallen nearly seven cents over the last week. According to GasBuddy Head of Petroleum Analysis, Patrick De Haan, Americans appear to be on the cusp of seeing the national average drop below $3 per gallon and potentially stay there for the first time in years, as prices have fallen across the vast majority of the country. De Haan says with well over 40 states seeing gas prices decline and oil plunging below $60 per barrel to end the week, the good news may not end if, and when, the national average hits that magical $2.99 mark. He says we could even see a handful of stations in places like Oklahoma, Texas, or even Wisconsin drop below $2 per gallon in the weeks ahead, something not seen since the pandemic.
