GAITHERSBURG, Maryland — The second of half of 2015 represents a strong commitment that motorists will spend even less on gasoline this year than they did in 2014. GasBuddy experts say that, before Christmas, as many as 20 states could have average gas prices below $2 per gallon as the national average for December slips to $1.98.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re confident that our projections give consumers more than accuracy; we think they\u2019ll help them identify some savings that should come in handy at Thanksgiving and Christmas,\u201d said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.<\/p>\n

\"Gasoline<\/a>\u201cIt\u2019s interesting to remember that last year the national average shed more than $1.27 from August 1 through December 31 when the U.S. average was $2.24,\u201d DeHaan pointed out. \u201cThis year, if we see just half of that decline it will bring us to below $2 per gallon.\u201d<\/p>\n

States most likely to see average prices at $1.99 or less before Christmas:<\/p>\n

Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.<\/p>\n

Contributing to the positive forecast are regional, national and global supply & demand fundamentals that continue to place more downward pressure on crude oil prices than upward pressure, and that trend is expected to continue well into 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs motorists wrap up their summer vacation road trips, demand for gasoline slips in autumn and winter. At the same time, refining margins are strong and with the switch to cheaper winter grade gasoline in the coming month, ample supply of discounted gasoline will be available to motorists. It\u2019s the perfect recipe for savings at the pump till the end of the year,\u201d noted Will Speer, another senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
