According to a report from AAA, gas prices could hit the lowest price per gallon they've hit in six years. The national average is $2.75 right now, which is higher than it was earlier this year. But stabilizing crude oil costs and refinery maintenance are expected to bring the prices back down. Some places won't see the low prices, like California's north-of-$3 average.
