The new year has brought with it price drops for gasoline. Americans are expected to spend about $12 billion less at the pump in 2025 compared to last year.
“Seasonality for diesel prices could continue to go up as we get into 2025. Diesel prices tend to peak in the colder months when heating oil demand is higher, diesel’s lower prices will be expected this summer with potentially summer diesel prices falling into the low $ 3-gallon range. Gasoline prices by the end of 2025 may again drop below $3 a gallon,” said Patrick De Haan with GasBuddy.
De Haan warns there is some uncertainty with fuel prices moving forward and the new Administration. He says President Trump’s tariff plan could pose some risks, but he notes Trump’s willingness to drill for oil will help prices slightly, but not by much.
