Gasoline prices remain historically high, frustrating drivers at the pump as they head into the Thanksgiving Day holiday, with AAA predicting 48.3 million drivers heading to holiday destinations, with numbers approaching 2019 levels.
While the national average price of regular gas has eased a little in recent weeks, it was up at $3.398 a gallon on Nov. 24, which is 61 percent higher than a year ago. Since Labor Day, the price of crude oil tumbled into the mid-70s after being stuck above $80 a barrel, raising questions if this will translate into some relief at the pump for drivers.
