Gas prices are 14 cents cheaper than last year, with averages at $3.21 per gallon and some regions potentially below $3, influenced by increased oil production.
- This Labor Day weekend, GasBuddy reports gas prices are the cheapest since 2020, with Alabama averaging $2.82 per gallon amid the unofficial end of summer travel.
- OPEC's production increase earlier this year pushed crude prices below $64 a barrel on Thursday, contributing to lower pump prices.
- AAA data reveal the national average gas price is $3.21 per gallon, up 7 cents from last week, with 15 states below $3 as of Thursday.
