8. 2024 -Americans Will Spend $32B Less than 2023….$79B Less than 2022 on Gas.
From Stephen Kroculick Jefferies According to GasBuddy projections — which were very accurate for 2023 — US gas prices will average $3.38 a gallon in 2024.

Gauging the impact of this, GasBuddy expects Americans will spend about $32 billion less on fuel than in 2023 and $79 billion less than in 2022. “Next year should represent a continued march towards what most Americans would consider normal prices at the pump,” GasBuddy’s head of petroleum analysis told CNN in a phone interview
