For the most part, we're finally back to a more normal, seasonal gas price pattern based on long-term economic factors with prices in most places lower than this time last year. Last winter, gas prices never really had their seasonal decline and mostly held steady or even slightly rising as inflation picked up, and of course rocketed last spring after the Ukraine-Russia war began. Of course, diesel is still high in the $4.50-$5 range, while the west coast continues to have its unusually high prices. I'll say if current economic/political trends continue, gas prices in 2023 will probably peak around $4 a gallon next summer which is higher than most of the past decade, but still a far cry from the $5 average witnessed six months ago. Even the High's on Christmas Eve where I live between DC and Baltimore which is normally a bit above the average in the region was $2.99/gallon for unleaded regular. That said, as of this morning, the Exxon near the Mall In Columbia is $3.80 for regular and has historically been high in the area.
