Thanksgiving Gas Prices Lowest In Seven Years
November 27, 2015
That Thanksgiving weekend trip to grandma’s or at that shopping trip is a little easier on the wallet this year for gas.
About 42 million Americans are expected to take a road trip this long weekend, and drivers should pay the lowest pump prices for the Thanksgiving holiday since 2008. Retail averages have fallen for 17 consecutive days for a total savings of 15 cents per gallon, and the national average remains poised to fall below the $2 per gallon benchmark by the Christmas holiday. Already, more than half of U.S. stations are selling gas for less than $2 per gallon.
The national average is at $2.05, down 75 cents when compared to last year.
The current average price per gallon, as of Thursday, was $1.96 in the Escambia County area, down from $2.67 on year ago.
In Century, gas was $1.99 per gallon at Highway 29 and Highway 4, while in Molino and Cantonment several stations were at $1.90 on Thursday. Several station in the Pensacola area were at $1.87 per gallon.
