Mike Tindall scored twice as Gloucester ran four tries past Bristol in a bonus-point win at the Memorial Stadium.
After just four minutes, Olly Morgan passed five Bristol defenders on a 30m run for an outstanding individual try.
The visitors led 10-3 at the break and stretched clear when Tindall crashed over before Lesley Vainikolo and then Tindall added late tries to seal it.
Despite a David Lemi try at the death, Bristol will end 2008 propping up the table and favourites for relegation.
Bristol head coach Richard Hill:
"We have got Newcastle and Worcester to play at home, which are clearly games we've got to win.
"This was always going to be one of those seasons when it was going to be up and down.
"We had a bad start, it was just a poor game for us. The pressure began to tell on us in the second half."
Gloucester head coach Dean Ryan:
"I am pretty happy with where we are. If we can push on from here, then we have a good chance of being in the mix.
"We couldn't match London Irish's energy levels last week [when they lost 42-12 to the Exiles].
"We would have lost this game if our energy levels had been anywhere near to where they were last Saturday."
