CHICAGO, Nov. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The government's Energy Information Administration predicts the price of gasoline will be less than $3 per gallon across most of the United States by the end of the year and throughout 2015. As a result, there's been a resurgence in consumer interest for large cars and large SUVs, as well as uncommonly generous manufacturer offers on small cars and small SUVs.

"Small cars and small SUVs have experienced high demand for the last several years due to elevated gas prices and overall affordability, which made getting great deals on them rare," said Jesse Toprak, chief analyst for Cars.com, the leading car shopping site and a comprehensive automotive digital marketing resource. "Since gas prices have started to decline, consumers are now finally able to get significant discounts, as well as great financing and leasing deals, on most small cars and SUVs."

The following high-value incentives are available in November:
