"Memorial Day Weekend Gas Prices Expected To Be Cheapest In Years"

"The gas prices for Memorial Day weekend are expected to be the cheapest, when adjusted for inflation, in recent years.

The new analysis by GasBuddy, which was released on Tuesday, found that the national average price of gas will be $3.08 per gallon on Memorial Day, May 26, the cheapest rate at the gas station since 2021.

The prices over the summer, between Memorial Day and Labor Day, are projected to be $3.02 per gallon.

“While we’re forecasting the lowest summer gas prices in years, economic jitters are slightly dampening optimism — but we still expect a robust travel season, with millions of Americans hitting the road, many for extended trips,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in a statement. “Rather than canceling plans, travelers are becoming more strategic with their spending.”"
