“Millions hit the road for Thanksgiving, and while in some regions, like the Great Lakes, gas prices rose just in time for the trip, across most of the country prices remained largely stable or declined slightly, as the national average was near “We have seen this since 2021,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “Gasoline prices are expected to fall slightly in most areas in the coming weeks. Over 100,000 gas stations are now offering a gallon for $2.99 ​​or less, which is expected to continue through the holiday shopping season. While the possible impact of the tariffs can be observed, it would not be felt until the end of January if they were implemented at all. This week all eyes will be on the previously postponed OPEC+ meeting on Thursday. If they start restarting oil production, oil prices could fall to the mid-$60s.”
