Gas Prices Drop Below $3: A Nationwide Relief at the PumpThe national average gasoline price has fallen below $3 per gallon, marking the first time since May 2021, according to GasBuddy. This significant drop is widespread, with prices falling in all 50 states over the past seven days. Factors contributing to this trend include lower seasonal demand, falling oil prices, and increased output from OPEC.
