Americans say "thank you" to President Trump --Oil and gasoline prices are expected to decline next year, according to the latest forecast from the Energy Information Administration (EIA). The EIA published its November Short-Term Energy Outlook last month, which projected that the price of Brent crude oil will decline from $69 a barrel in 2025 to $55 a barrel next year. That would be well below the $81 per barrel that prevailed in 2024. Gas prices are also projected to continue their decline into next year. Retail gas prices averaged $3.30 a gallon in 2024 and are at $3.10 a gallon this year, but are projected to decline further to $3 a gallon in 2026, according to the EIA's report. -- Some comments -- Prices dropped significantly right before Thanksgiving, and have continued to drop. There are several stations at $1.78 in the Denver metro area today -- Just paid $2.79/gal. Not $7.29 like California! -Paid 2.10 today. Awesome job Trump administration --Meanwhile, in Commiefornia, gasoline costs $6.50 / gal and the governor is trying to think of a new excuse to raise taxes on gas. --https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/oil-gas-prices-expected-stay-significantly-lower-through-2026
