National Outlook
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, noted that most of the nation saw stable or slightly declining prices during the busy Thanksgiving travel season. He predicted modest price decreases heading into the holiday shopping season, with over 100,000 stations nationwide now offering gas for $2.99 or less.
“While the potential impacts from tariffs are something to watch, they wouldn’t affect gas prices until late January, if at all. For now, the focus will be on the delayed OPEC+ meeting on Thursday. If oil production is restored, prices could soften further,” said De Haan.
