‘Good Morning America’ Panel Visibly Blown Away As Gas Prices Hit Five-Year December Low Under Trump

A panel on ABC News’ “Good Morning America” celebrated the lowest December gas prices in five years on Tuesday, citing GasBuddy data.

GasBuddy reported on Monday that America’s average gas prices decreased for five weeks in a row to $2.75 per gallon. The panel framed the drop as a positive development for Americans traveling on the road during the holidays.

“Hey, how about some good news for those of us hitting the road for the holidays?” guest host Malika Andrews asked. “Gas prices, they’re dropping nationwide, and this is for the fifth consecutive week.”

ABC News correspondent Elizabeth Shulze broke down the data.

“So this is really welcome news for the more than 100 million Americans hitting the roads during the holidays. GasBuddy says the national average price for a gallon of gas down for the fifth straight week,” the correspondent said. “So it’s now $2.75. That’s down 23 cents in one month. In 40 states, average gas prices are now below that $3 mark.”

“Now, we do tend to see lower prices this time of year. That’s because generally demand does go down. People are parked during the holidays. School is out. Oil production is also up, which does help keep prices low,” she continued. “GasBuddy says we could start to see prices tick up in about six weeks, but bottom line for now, cheapest December for gas prices in five years.”
