"After a few weeks of rising gas prices, the national average has reversed course, declining as we close out 2024," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.

In the week ahead, we’ll likely see gas prices fall in some states, while the Great Lakes region may experience another price cycle. Overall, I expect the national average to remain mostly stable."
