Gas Prices Could Dip To $3 Per Gallon By Christmas
It would certainly be a welcomeĀ ChristmasĀ present if gas prices dipped to $3 per gallon by the end of the month. We’ve seen prices drop over the past few weeks so this could become a reality.
According to an article posted byĀ Julia Mueller, The Hill via NexStar Media WireĀ onĀ NewsNationNow.com,Ā fuel price tracker appĀ GasBuddyĀ reports that the average national cost of gas dropped 22.7 cents per gallon in November, and that trend could continue through the month ofĀ December.
We know that the high cost of fuel has been one of the major factors which has caused rising inflation on just about everything we purchased during 2022. With fears of a national recession in our economy looming on the horizon, lower gas prices would sure be welcomed by all of us.
According toĀ AAA.com, the average price of a gallon of gas is hovering around the $3.50 mark over the past couple of days. Today’s national average cost is $3.47 per gallon. However, here inĀ Nevada,Ā the average cost of a gallon of fuel is over a dollar more than that at $4.60 per gallon. One year ago, the average price of a gallon of gas here in theĀ Silver StateĀ was $3.96 for regular unleaded. So, we have a long way to go to even get back to last year’s average price. Hopefully, our gas prices inĀ Nevada mirror the national average a little more than they have recently.
Mueller’s article quotesĀ GasBuddy’s head of petroleum analysis as saying: “All the metrics look very positive for motorists as this week is likely to continue seeing falling gasoline prices, with many areas falling to the lowest level since Russiaās invasion of Ukraine in February.ā Let’s all hope he is right on the money!

Itās great for things that fall in between the seat,Ā andĀ for storing things you know you just have no room for.
Car Putty Cleaning Gel for Detailing
Keep it clean. I feel like this should be the motto for all cars, but we all know thatās not the most realistic thing.

Large Car Cup Holder
Iām a HydroĀ FlaskĀ user, but I also love aĀ jumbo-sizedĀ soda every now and then, which makes this the perfect find for me. This large car cup holder basically gives you additional room to hold your oversized drinks. That way youāre not having to hold the drink while youāre driving or keep it in between your legs.Ā
Dipping Sauce Car Vent Clips
As seen on Shark Tank, thisĀ isĀ probably my favorite invention of the last ten years. These are dipping sauce car vent clips.Ā Yeah,Ā go ahead and read that again!

What car is complete without a cell phone holder? The answer is no car, but regardless, having a cell phone holder isĀ really great.

Sticky Pad For Dash
When I first saw this sticky pad on my boyfriendās car dash holding a full cup of coffee I panicked. I thought there was no way that it wasnāt going to cause a mess and spill everywhere.

Itās great for holding your phone or anything that youād like to have at close reach. Ā
Fast USB Charger
We all need to charge our phones. And one thing that I found is great for my car are these fast USB charging ports.

Car Inverter
And speaking of cool carĀ gadgets, in some cases you may need to take your laptop or something with aĀ two or three-prongedĀ wall connectionĀ on the road with you. In which case,Ā you need this. Iāve used a car inverterĀ when I go on any long drives because I know that if my electronics are going to die halfway through it will be a nightmare.Ā This one also comes with USB ports, so if you need to charge your phone you can still do that via a USB connection while having two things plugged into the front of the inverter.Ā
