Gas Prices Drop Across The Nation Ahead Of The Holiday Weekend

This marks the second biggest one-year price drop in the week before the 4th of July in 33 years.

Roads across the Nation are expected to be packed during the holiday weekend, but travelers do have something to look forward to.

A record-setting 43.2 million Americans are expected to travel by car over the 4th of July weekend which is 2.4% higher than last year. However, gas prices are much lower.

The national average for regular gasoline dipped to $3.55 a gallon on Thursday.

A year ago, a gallon of regular sold for an average of $4.87 a gallon.

This marks the second biggest one-year price drop in the week before the 4th of July in 33 years.

The average motorist is spending $20 less per fill-up than they were at this point last year.
