Thanksgiving motorists traveling I-95 may get 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. The decrease follows lower crude oil prices, the seasonal switch to less-expensive winter-blend gasoline and reduced demand.
For I-95 travelers, fuel costs can vary considerably along the route. AAA reported lower statewide averages in several Southern I-95 states, including North Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina, while prices remain higher in Mid-Atlantic and Northeast states.
The decline arrives as motorists begin planning Thanksgiving road trips, traditionally one of the busiest travel periods of the year. While the lower national average is welcome news, AAA noted that November gasoline prices remain high compared with previous years.
Drivers heading north or south on I-95 for the holiday are encouraged to check prices before leaving and refuel in lower-cost areas when possible. Planning fuel stops in advance can help families better manage travel costs during the Thanksgiving rush.
