Thanksgiving motorists traveling I-5 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 news comes as holiday travelers prepare to use I-5, the major West Coast route linking California, Oregon and Washington. Fuel costs can vary significantly along the corridor, with California motorists typically facing higher prices than travelers in Oregon and Washington.
While the national average has declined, AAA said November gasoline prices remain high compared with previous years. I-5 drivers can help manage holiday travel costs by checking prices before departing and planning fuel stops in advance.
