Is gas really dipping in price? AAA reports that nationwide the average for a gallon of regular has dropped by 11 cents in the past week to $3.66.
"The national average has fallen sharply since the June peak of nearly $5.02," AAA spokeswoman Molly Hart said."But this Thanksgiving will be about 20 cents higher than a year ago, and a dollar more per gallon than a pre-pandemic 2019. However, we can be thankful that gas prices are moving in the right direction for now."
