DMV drivers are cheering as gas prices drop 10 cents per gallon. According to AAA (https://gasprices.aaa.com), the average price in Washington D.C. is now $3.45, down from $3.55 last week. Maryland and Virginia see similar relief.
**The DMV Angle**
D.C. commuters are planning joyrides. Bethesda SUVs are back on brunch duty. Arlington hybrids? They’re just smug as usual.
Experts caution the dip is temporary, citing global oil volatility and winter demand. Reuters (https://www.reuters.com/markets/oil-prices-2025-12-01/) reports OPEC production cuts could reverse gains by January.
**Why It Matters**
Fuel costs influence DMV inflation and consumer spending. Lower prices boost holiday travel but strain long-term sustainability goals.
**Closing Punchline**
Enjoy the cheap gas while it lasts—because next month, you’ll need a loan for a road trip.
