U.S. gasoline prices dropped below $3 per gallon for the first time in more than four years, according to the American Automobile Association.

As of Dec. 2, the national average for a gallon of gas was $2.998—the lowest since May 2021. Pump prices have also fallen about six cents in the past week and are down from a year ago.
