The national average has fallen 1.4 cents a gallon in the last week to $3.25, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.

“With Thanksgiving behind us it appears that a nominal decline in retail gasoline prices will ring in the first week of December for most parts of the country,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Gregg Laskoski. “With the government’s report of healthy fuel inventories and U.S. refinery output reaching its highest level since early October, the savings at the pump is coming just in time.”
