2025: OPEC+ output increases and the flattest year in the record
Gasoline averaged $3.10 in 2025, 20.7¢ less than in 2024 and 8.7% lower after inflation, the lowest annual average since 2021. Crude oil prices fell over the year as OPEC+ unwound its earlier production cuts ahead of schedule and oil production outside OPEC+ continued to grow; the EIA expected Brent crude to average less than $60 a barrel in the fourth quarter, the first quarter that low since 2020.
The year was unusually flat. The monthly average stayed between $3.05 and $3.17 from January through November, and the difference between the year’s highest and lowest weeks was about 43¢, or 15 percent of the low, the smallest range relative to price of any year in the weekly series. The largest weekly increase, 8.1¢, came in the week of April 7, which was also the year’s high at $3.24; there was no summer peak.
Prices fell in the final months. The largest weekly decline, 7.6¢, came in the week of December 1, the December monthly average was $2.89, and the year’s low was its final week, December 29, at $2.81. From April 2025 the EIA also moved its weekly price release from Monday to Tuesday, though prices are still collected on Mondays.
