Gas Prices Fall to Lowest Levels Since Pandemic, Many States Below $3 a Gallon

Good news for the 82 million Americans traveling over the holiday…

According to a Fox Business report, gas prices are at their lowest levels since the pandemic, with nearly 30 states posting prices below $3 per gallon.

From Fox Business:

GasBuddy forecasts a national average of $3.02 per gallon over the holiday, matching last year’s price. Both 2024 and 2025 now share the distinction of marking the lowest Thanksgiving gas prices since the pandemic, when the national average hit $3.39 a gallon in 2021 and $3.56 in 2022.

And for many drivers, that national stability is showing up locally, too. Nearly 30 states now boast average prices under $3, from Colorado to New Hampshire to Georgia, according to AAA. Oklahoma tops the list with an average of just $2.50 a gallon.

At the other end of the spectrum, California tops the list of the most expensive gasoline markets at $4.63 per gallon, followed by Hawaii at $4.47 and Washington at $4.18. Rounding out the top 10 are Nevada ($3.84), Oregon ($3.81), Alaska ($3.75), Arizona ($3.37) and three states tied at $3.29 – Pennsylvania, Idaho and Illinois.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed that this holiday season, Americans will be able to put gas in their cars at ” a very affordable price.”
