The holiday season is delivering lower gas prices as travelers hit the road in record numbers. The national average dropped five cents over the past week to $2.85 and this is the cheapest gas has been since December of 2020. Crude oil prices remain low, and despite an increase in gasoline demand over the holidays, supply is strong.
