Gas prices have been steadily falling for 13 straight weeks, eclipsing the declining streak the U.S. saw at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to AAA, the average national gas price is $3.71, as of Sept. 13. GasBuddy Head of Petroleum Analysis Patrick De Haan told Yahoo Finance Live that figure could get even lower within the next few months.
"Barring hurricanes or unexpected outages ... the national average could decline to $3.29, then $3.25, De Haan said (video above). And it's not impossible that we could be on the road to a $2.99 national average by the end of the year."

Joe Biden, according to Republicans, was solely responsible for the increase of gas prices.
I wonder if Joe Biden, according to Republicans, will be solely responsible for the decrease of gas prices if it happens. I'm not holding my breath waiting for an answer.

(9,909 posts)When gasoline is $2.99 a gallon in CA, it will be free elsewhere. And electricity isn't free unless you have a bank of solar cells.
Except for last week's sample of life in hell, worth the cost. Blue wave starts here.

(129,631 posts)Climate change doesn't care - even when you try to do your little part to fix it, and certainly CA has done a fantastic job with their foresight.
However CA and all those states that were massively hyped and promoted as alternatives to the ugly nasty "Rust Belt" (with the business and tourist industry insisting that people should leave the east coast and midwest and "go west and south" ), has now run out of water. And the natural climatic cycle of a dry season (fire season) and wet season (mudslides), and the continued insistence on constructing in those volatile areas to accommodate the growing population, means so much disruption, loss of property, and loss of lives.

(9,909 posts)Zoning laws (NIMBY) are being addressed. They have been exclusionary, and prices driven out of this world by speculators and "investors", pushing people out to the wild.
Also, the water situation is a balance between subsidized agriculture and residential needs.
Despite the blue politics, regulatory agencies are the best that money can buy.
The two gems are the agriculture and the critical mass of talent that other areas try to match but can't.
Climate near the coast is still the best, and it attracts people.
Cool enough (it's the fog) to grow artichokes and Brussels sprouts.
