*Gas prices during holiday travel may be a surprise*

We all know that filling up a gas tank in the last two years has often been a painful experience. Especially in June 2022 when the national average price of gasoline topped $5 a gallon in much of the country -- $75 for a 15-gallon fill-up. So, there was relief when the price finished 2022 at $3.195 a gallon. But the gas prices went up again in 2023 until finally, on Sept. 18, the price peaked at $3.881 a gallon. Since then, the price has come down heavily. In fact, on Saturday (Dec. 9), the national average retail gasoline price, according to the American Automobile Association, was $3.167 a gallon, down 3.5 cents from the day before, 18.4% from that Sept. 18 price and 36.9% lower than that June 2022 peak of $5.016 a gallon. Remember that $75 fill-up in 2022. It's $47.51 on average. And it's likely to move lower still between now and New Year's and into January, maybe longer. So, happy holidays. In addition, Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis at the Oil Price Information Service, said that more than half of the retail dealers of gasoline in the United States are selling their gasoline at less than $3 a gallon. "This never happened in 2022," he said. So, happy holidays. Gasoline prices have fallen because crude oil prices in the United States have come down heavily since peaking at $93.68 per 42-gallon barrel in late September and finished the week at around $70 a barrel. Crude oil represents about 53% of the per-gallon price of gasoline. The closing futures price for RBOB gasoline at $2.0498 a gallon was lower than at the same time in 2021, Kloz noted. The futures price is essentially a wholesale price for gasoline and is typically 64% of what you pay at the pump. Some of the forces pushing oil prices higher in 2022 and again in 2023 have eased. These include:Global shipping costs easing as the global economy reopened from the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic.More oil and gas production in the United States and elsewhere. Lower gasoline consumption since July because of strained consumer budgets, according to analysts studying data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Lower oil demand in China because of weak economic conditions.Signals that the The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its related OPEC+ group may be struggling to enforce members' production quotas. New production quotas are "voluntary." Plus winter has arrived in the Northern hemisphere. Gasoline demand is much lower than in the summer, and refiners are concentrating on making diesel and jet fuel, which right now command higher prices. Gasoline is almost a byproduct. Energy shares have been pressured as prices have come down. The Select Energy Sector exchange-traded fund (XLE) - Get Free Report is down 10.2% this quarter and down 7.3% for the year. Chevron (CVX) - Get Free Report is off 14.4% for the fourth quarter and 19.6% for the year. Exxon Mobil (XOM) - Get Free Report is off 15.3% for the fourth quarter and 9.8% on the year. So happy holidays. (Unless you're an energy investor.) There is a grinch in this picture consumers should remember. Oil prices and gasoline prices are, as noted, seasonal. Wars, depressions, wild inflation can cause havoc. Gas prices usually rise from mid-winter (sometimes even December) into the summer before starting to retreat around August. The declines in the fall tend to be sharper if the earlier runup is substantial. But remember: The 2023 price peaks were smaller than those in 2022. So, if we're lucky and there are no wars, the summer price increase may be less violent than this year's runup. So, happy holidays.

*Pepsi discontinues 3 soda flavors Coca-Cola doesn't offer*

It's always crushing when a company gets rid of something you like. The end of a product can hit even harder when it has a devoted fanbase. It's a problem relative to scale that works a lot like the television business. A show that steadily gets a million viewers on cable would generally be considered a solid performer or even a hit depending upon the size of the channel airing it. Put the same show on a broadcast network and that audience will get you cancelled every time. Related: Coke quietly discontinues a beloved Coca-Cola flavor That's the dilemma when it comes to huge companies like Coca-Cola (KO) - Get Free Report and PepsiCo. killing products like Tab or Pepsi Blue. Those products may not sell on a large enough scale to make sense for Coke and Pepsi but they may still have hundreds of thousands of fans. To a smaller soda brand, Tab or Pepsi Blue might be considered hits while to Coke and Pepsi, they're rounding errors not worth supporting. It's a dilemma that puts soda's "Big Two" in a position where they often have to disappoint passionate customers. PepsiCo. has done that again by discontinuing three popular soda flavors, but there may still be some good news for customers. PepsiCo. has not been shy about getting rid of slow-selling flavors. Image Source: Pepsico PepsiCo discontinues its 'top-shelf' soda In 2016, PepsiCo. (PEP) - Get Free Report introduced 1893 Original Cola. It was meant to be a top-shelf flavor that harkened back to the company's founding. "1893 brings together premium ingredients and more than 100 years of cola-making expertise to present a great-tasting fusion of the past and present. Inspired by the original recipes created in 1893 by Pepsi founder Caleb Bradham, 1893 is a blend of kola nut extract, real sugar and sparkling water," PepsiCo. shared on its website. That original launch, which included Original Cola and Ginger Cola flavors, was followed by the company adding Citrus Cola and Black Currant Cola. In addition to being a return to PepsiCo.'s roots, the 1893 line was an attempt to create sodas that paired with top-shelf liquor for mixed drinks. "The 1893 Top Shelf bartender program serves as an extension of the new flavors campaign, demonstrating that a premium spirit is best enjoyed with a premium cola. The program will enlist some of the nation's top award-winning bartenders and explore how today's mixologists are incorporating past and present flavors surrounding the kola nut into clever, refined modern cocktails," the company shared. PepsiCo. had killed all of the extended Pepsi 1893 flavors over the past few years and now it has stopped making the Pepsi 1893 Cola. PepsiCo, kills three Pepsi flavors In addition to discontinuing Pepsi 1893, the company has also stopped manufacturing Pepsi Berry and Pepsi Cherry Vanilla. If you're a fan of one of these flavors, however, you may still be able to stock up one last time. "Manufacturing has ended, but it may still be found on shelf," the company shared in the products section of its website. Searches for all three flavors did show them being in stock on some retail websites and being sold for inflated prices on others (which is typical for discontinued sodas). Pepsi, like Coca-Cola, has occasionally brought back discontinued sodas for limited-time revivals. It has done that with Pepsi Blue and Crystal Pepsi two of of its more heavily-hyped releases that failed spectacularly. It's not likely that Pepsi 1893, Pepsi Berry, or Pepsi Cherry Vanilla's demise lead to a Tab-level organized campaign to bring these brands back, but social media pressure has worked in limited instances in the past.
