Thanksgiving Gas Prices Hit Near 4-Year Lows Amid Increased Travel
As Thanksgiving approaches, gas prices across the United States have plummeted to near the lowest levels seen in recent years, providing a much-needed relief for travelers this holiday season. Key regions like Central Ohio and Denver have recorded prices below $2, while the national average remains steady at $3.03. Despite the favorable prices, some areas are experiencing slight increases. Reports indicate that while many Americans are set to travel, there is a noted decrease in the overall number of drivers compared to previous years, suggesting that households remain cautious despite lower gas costs. Analysts suggest that adjusted for inflation, Thanksgiving gas prices could be the lowest in years. The White House has also indicated continued efforts to support economic relief, which could further impact fuel prices during this busy travel period.
