Thanksgiving gas prices are trending cheaper than last year

AAA reports that gas prices this year for Thanksgiving will be similar or cheaper than last year.

The national average is $2.59 - but it's $2.25 in Texas. When you look at the AAA map , Central Texas is a sea of blue, indicating that we have some of the lowest prices in the state.

“During Thanksgiving week last year we saw the national gas price average decrease a nickel between Monday and Thursday, that could be the case again this year,” said Jeanette Casselano, AAA spokesperson. “AAA recommends holiday road-trippers use the AAA app to find current gas prices along their route.”
