Just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday travel rush, gas prices are tumbling fast.
This exceeds the typical seasonal drop in gas prices during the fall and leaves the national average at a 10-month low.
If prices stay near current levels, this would be the cheapest gas price on Thanksgiving Day since 2020 when Covid-19 caused many Americans to stay off the roads altogether.
GasBuddy projects the national average will slide to $3.25 a gallon or lower by Thanksgiving Day, marking the lowest priced Thanksgiving Day for fuel prices in three years.
By comparison, gas prices stood at $3.57 a gallon on last year’s holiday following a year of notoriously high prices.
