On average, the cheapest gallon of regular gasoline in the United States this Monday morning costs $2.389, and it is available in St. Louis. A month ago that gallon of gasoline cost $2.809 on average in St. Louis, according to GasBuddy. If the price falls that much again ($0.42 a gallon), a gallon of gasoline in St. Louis will cost less than $2.00 on New Year’s Day — $1.969 to be exact.

In fact, by New Year’s Day a gallon of gasoline could cost less than $2.00 a gallon throughout the entire state of Missouri, one of eight states we identified as most likely to see gasoline prices fall below $2.00 a gallon as early as the beginning of 2015.
