Gas prices are likely to be at their lowest level since 2021 this Memorial Day weekend, just in time for nearly 40 million Americans to hit the road, according to industry estimates.
Motorists can expect to spend an average of $3.08 for a gallon of regular gas over the federal holiday, according to one consumer-focused platform. That’s 50 cents a gallon less than Memorial Day in 2024. AAA projects more than 45 million people will travel at least 50 miles from home – by car and by air – from May 22-26, passing the record of 44 million travelers set in 2005.
