Gas prices drop below $3 per gallon, lowest since 2021
GasBuddy reports average U.S. gasoline prices at about $2.96 per gallon, the lowest in over four years, driven by lower crude costs, refinery output, and seasonal demand.
- According to GasBuddy data, the nationwide average gas price has dropped below $3 per gallon, reaching $2.961 per gallon on Friday morning, the lowest level since May 9, 2021.
- The steep decline in gas prices is driven largely by falling global oil prices, lower seasonal demand, and rising OPEC output, as stated by GasBuddy's Patrick De Haan.
- While some stations have offered temporary promotions below $2 per gallon, this marks the first time the regular national average has dipped below $2, as noted by GasBuddy.
