Thanksgiving travelers using I-80 may see some relief at the gas pump as the national average price for regular gasoline has fallen below $4 per gallon.
According to American Automobile Association (AAA), the national average recently dropped to $3.9081 per gallon, nearly 20 cents lower than the previous week. AAA attributed the decline to lower crude oil prices, the seasonal shift to less-expensive winter-blend gasoline and reduced demand.
The news comes as motorists prepare for Thanksgiving road trips along I-80, which stretches from Northern California through Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Fuel prices can vary substantially along the route, particularly between western states, the Midwest and the Northeast. Travelers may be able to reduce trip costs by comparing prices before leaving and planning fuel stops in lower-priced areas along their route.
Although the national average has declined, AAA said November gas prices remain high compared with previous years.
