Gas prices have fallen over the last month but are significantly more than a year ago.

BETHESDA, MD — If you're getting in one last summer trip over Labor Day weekend, perhaps you want to plan ahead and know the more affordable places to fill up your tank. Depending on where you're going, getting gas in the local area could be the better option.

Bethesda area gas prices averaged $3.082 on Thursday, Aug. 30. Prices dropped slightly from $3.082 last month but are higher than last year's $2.633.

"With Labor Day approaching, motorists could see a small swing towards higher gas prices, but any jump should not last past the holiday weekend," said AAA spokesperson Jeanette Casselano in a statement.
