According to AAA, they say that historically that the end of the year offers some of the cheapest gas of the year. In 2018, the average gas price was $2.26 on December 31.<\/p>\n

In 2019, they expect gas prices will be in the $2.40 to $2.45 range on average, up 15-to-20 cents more than last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cDepending on where you live in the country, you will see gas prices drop anywhere between a nickel and a quarter this month. While that will offer savings to motorists, it is not as much as they saw last December,\u201d said Jeanette Casselano, AAA spokesperson. \u201cGas prices are more expensive year-over-year in part due to higher crude prices this winter over last.\u201d<\/p>\n
