Brent crude prices shed approximately <b>19%<\/b> over the full year, while <b>WTI crude<\/b> declined roughly <b>20%<\/b>, marking the third consecutive year of losses for both benchmarks. This extended downturn reflects structural imbalances that show no signs of reversing soon.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>International Energy Agency (IEA)<\/b> reported that global oil supply rose by <b>3 million barrels daily<\/b> in 2025 while demand climbed just <b>830,000 barrels daily<\/b>. This mismatch created persistent oversupply conditions that kept downward pressure on prices through every quarter. From January peaks above <b>$82 per barrel<\/b> for Brent, crude descended steadily toward decade-low territory, finally settling below <b>$61 per barrel<\/b> as the year concluded.<\/p>\n<h2>Gasoline Prices Deliver Rare Winter Relief at the Pump<\/h2>\n<p>American drivers enjoyed unexpected relief at gas pumps during <b>December 2025<\/b>, with the national average dropping to its lowest December price since <b>2020<\/b>. According to <b>AAA data<\/b>, regular unleaded hit <b>$2.89 per gallon<\/b> by mid-December before declining further toward year-end. This represented dramatic savings\u2014roughly <b>21-26 cents per gallon lower<\/b> than December 2024 levels.<\/p>\n<p><b>Trading Economics<\/b> reported gasoline futures fell to <b>$1.71 per gallon<\/b> on the final trading day of 2025, confirming the sharpest annual percentage decline in nearly a decade. The cheapest December in five years meant holiday travelers and consumers filling up before 2026 benefited from historically favorable conditions.
