Traveling for Thanksgiving? Search Cheap Gas Prices in Port Washington

Here’s something to be thankful for: drivers will pay the second-cheapest Thanksgiving gas prices since 2008, according to AAA.

According to AAA, the national average price for regular unleaded gasoline around the Thanksgiving season is at $2.14 per gallon. The national average is expected to decline to around $2.00 a gallon by the end of the year.

Last Thanksgiving, the national average for gas prices was $2.05 per gallon. “While gas prices are slightly higher this year compared to last, gasoline is still a relative bargain and lots of people are driving to Grandma’s for turkey as a result,” Robert Sinclair, Jr., manager of media relations for AAA Northeast, said in a press release.

Average gas prices are below $2 per gallon in 12 states as of Monday. New York ($2.37 per gallon) is not among those 12 states, but gas prices in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast continue to drop, AAA says. New York and regional neighbors of Pennsylvania ($2.37) and Washington, D.C., ($2.36), are still among the top-10 most expensive markets in the country despite the recent price drops.

AAA believes the low gas prices are encouraging more people to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday.
