Thanksgiving motorists traveling I-10 may see some relief at the gas pump as the national average price for regular gasoline has fallen below $4 per gallon.
According to the 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 switch to less-expensive winter-blend gasoline and reduced demand.
The decline comes as Thanksgiving travelers prepare to use I-10, the major southern transcontinental route connecting California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
Fuel costs can vary widely along the I-10 corridor, particularly between California and the Gulf Coast states. Travelers heading to Thanksgiving gatherings may be able to lower fuel expenses by checking prices before departure and planning fill-ups in lower-cost areas along their route.
While the national average has declined, AAA noted that November gasoline prices remain high compared with previous years.
