TL;DR Summary

Gas prices in the U.S. have dropped 19% since September, reaching the lowest point of the year just in time for the holiday season. Prices are averaging less than $3 a gallon in over 20 states, and they could continue to fall. This decline is attributed to falling oil prices, driven by record U.S. production and a weakening economy in China. While OPEC members and allies have promised oil supply cuts, traders remain skeptical. Overall, consumers are experiencing lower gas prices compared to previous holiday seasons, and the trend is expected to continue into January.
