Gas prices in the U.S. have fluctuated greatly in recent times and many drivers are feeling the pain at the pump.

Experts predict gasoline prices could drop below $3 this year before rebounding closer to $4 by year's end. GasBuddy forecasted a national average of $3.38 per gallon, down from $3.51.
