What to expect for gas prices in 2025
CNNNew York CNN — More good news is coming to inflation-weary drivers: Gas prices are expected to drop in 2025 for the third straight year, according to GasBuddy projections shared exclusively with CNN. However, De Haan warned that this projection for tame gas prices could be disrupted by several X-factors, including President-elect Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs on Canada and Mexico. “We just don’t see the stars aligning for President-elect Trump to realize gas prices that low.” Drill-baby-drill meets reality Although Trump’s drill-baby-drill focus could boost domestic production, the United States is already pumping more oil than any nation in world history. GasBuddy’s De Haan estimates that a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico would lift retail gas prices by 30 cents to 70 cents a gallon.
