Florida motorists came out of the heavily traveled Labor Day weekend paying an average of $3.04 a gallon for regular unleaded gasoline Tuesday, according to the AAA auto club. That was down 2 cents a gallon from a week earlier and within a range of $2.90 to $3.15 a gallon that has remained since May.
Average prices for the Labor Day weekend were the lowest since 2021. The average price was $3.30 a gallon a year ago. The national average price Tuesday was $3.19 a gallon, the same as a week earlier. Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said he anticipates the national average price to fall below $3 this fall.
“We’ve seen a remarkably affordable summer to hit the road with incomes up and gas prices down, but there are some challenges that remain: hurricane season and uncertainty over trade, tariffs and Russia’s war on Ukraine,” De Haan said in a blog post.
The President told us, repeatedly, that gas was much lower. This article is just woke news and I think the reporter was probably a DEI hire. Now I'm going to go fill up my FORD F-950 with some cheap, cheap 1.98 gallon gas.
