If we take the equation: Y=0.04382X-85.1827 and put X=2020 we get Y (cost of gas, which I guess you mean is gasoline, or to us in the UK, petrol)=$3.33. I don't think this figure is reliable because the price of oil has fluctuated so much over the last few years. Still, let's see what actually happens in 5 years!
