GasBuddy: Prices Continue Falling to Close Out 202512/29/2025You may have noticed some relief at the gas pump depending on where you live. GasBuddy said average prices in Fort Wayne have fallen nearly 20 cents per gallon in the last week but are up almost 19 cents in Toledo. GasBuddy's Head of Petroleum Analysis Patrick De Haan explains:“For the fifth straight week, the national average price of gasoline has declined, with all but a handful of states seeing prices move lower. Oil prices have remained relatively low even amid the U.S. blockade on Venezuela’s oil exports. With refineries running at seasonally high output and gasoline inventories building, most states— outside of price-cycling markets— have continued to see declines, with some stations in nearly a dozen states now dipping below the $2-per-gallon mark. That trend could persist a bit longer before prices finally bottom out sometime in January or February.” -Patrick De Haan
