Holiday Season Delivers Lower Gas Prices to End 2025

Posted December 18, 2025

Washignton, D.C.–This holiday season is delivering cheaper gas prices as travelers hit the road in record numbers. The national average dropped more than 4 cents since last week to $2.89. This is the cheapest December at the pump since the end of 2020. Crude oil prices remain low, and despite an increase in gasoline demand over the holidays, supply is strong. Overall, 2025 has been a stable year for the national average with few fluctuations and no sharp spikes. 

The national average per kilowatt hour of electricity at a public EV charging station stayed the same this past week at 38 cents.
