That’s thanks to what may be the lowest average nationwide gasoline rates for this holiday weekend in three years, according to AAA.
Today’s average price of just more than $2.58 per gallon is 25 cents cheaper than during the Labor Day weekend last year, when it was $2.83, and 5 cents cheaper than the same period in 2017 ($2.63).
