let's start with the good news. >> reporter: yeah, this is a good story. because this is kind of news you can really work with all year. so gas is a biggy on the list. gas is expected to be cheaper this year. i had to do a double-take to look at this. this is after gas prices on the average fell to $3.49 last year to the lowest average price in three years. gas prices expected to keep falling. for a gallon of gas, you'll pay an average of $3.30 today. why is this happening? for one, production is up, cars also getting more and more fuel-efficient. also getting cheaper, electric cars. even mitsubishi cut its price on its imeve. others doing the same. this is because competition is tight, more electric cars getting the market. cell phone service. i couldn't believe this one. that's expected to get cheaper, as well. again, all about the competition. we saw this kind of being battled out between t-mobile and at&t in a price war. both offering big discounts to customers who switch carriers. so expect cell phone service to get cheaper, as well.
