The national average for a gallon of gasoline fell 11 cents in the past week to $3.66 as travelers prepare for the busy Thanksgiving travel period.
Gas prices have fallen due to an increase in supply and fewer drivers filling up for the November holiday.
The national average is less than a month ago and more than a year ago. This week will see the highest Thanksgiving national average price since 2000 as the prices are lower than earlier this year.
The nation's top 10 weekly decreases are Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, California, Ohio, Illinois and Delaware.
Texas is the most expensive market, followed by Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma.
The national average has fallen since it peaked in June. This Thanksgiving will be 20 cents more expensive than a year ago, and a dollar more expensive than a pre-pandemic year. Gas prices are moving in the right direction.
The Thanksgiving holiday travel period from November 23 to November 27 is defined as the five-day period from November 23 to November 27 by the American Automobile Association.
According to a survey from Cars.com, more people are driving than flying during the Thanksgiving holiday travel period because of weather delays, ticket prices and schedule disruptions.
