November 25, 2016
That Thanksgiving weekend trip to grandma’s or at that shopping trip wasn’t that hard on the wallet this year for gas.
AAA projects that 43.5 million Americans are expected to take a road trip this Thanksgiving and drivers will pay an average of $2.12 per gallon, the second-cheapest Thanksgiving gas prices since 2008, when the national average was $1.85.
The current average price per gallon, as of Thursday, was $2.14 in the Escambia County area, up from $1.97 one year ago.
Along Highway 29 in Century, gas was $2.18 per gallon at the Century Food Mart and $2.19 at the Marthon. At the Tom Thumb in Molino, gas was at $2.10 Thursday night, while in Cantonment it was $2.03 at the Quick Fill on Highway 29 at Becks Lake Road, and $2.04 across the intersection at the Raceway.
Several stations in the Pensacola area were at $2.01 per gallon Thursday night.
