“It seems fitting that the national average has fallen for four weeks in a row leading up to Labor Day, to its lowest level since February. This gives Americans one last chance to hit the road without gasoline prices playing a major role,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
“GasBuddy is currently tracking eight states where average gas prices are already below the $3 per gallon mark, and nearly 20% of gas stations nationwide are selling gas for $2.99 or less. Those numbers will look better week by week as we move into fall. GasBuddy’s Labor Day travel forecast, released tomorrow, will provide more good news about how many millions of dollars Americans will save compared to last year when traveling by car.”
