For the 49 million Americans hitting the road for the Thanksgiving holiday, they will find gas prices mostly similar, if not cheaper, than last year’s holiday.
Today’s national average is $2.59. That’s just a few cents over the 2018 holiday weekend average of $2.57.
“During Thanksgiving week last year we saw the national gas price average decrease a nickel between Monday and Thursday, that could be the case again this year,” said Jeanette Casselano, AAA spokesperson. “AAA recommends holiday road-trippers use the AAA app to find current gas prices along their route.”
Today, 61% of all gas stations in the country are selling regular unleaded for $2.50 or less. On the week, gas prices are flat.
California’s average gas price is $3.86 a gallon.
Today, Costco is down to $3.49, from $3.55 two days ago. Trend is downward.
Arco Clayton rd. $3.57
How about giving us the California average from a year ago since we do not follow the national trend in gasoline pricing?
