“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, giving Americans one last chance to hit the road when gasoline prices aren’t as big of a deal,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “GasBuddy is currently monitoring eight states where average gasoline 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 the millions of dollars Americans who travel by car will save compared to last year.”
