Gas hasn’t been this cheap on Labor Day since 2020

New York (CNN) — Americans soaking up the end of summer this holiday weekend will catch a break at the gas pump.

Labor Day gas prices are expected to average $3.15 per gallon this year— the cheapest since 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to GasBuddy. That’s down modestly from $3.29 last Labor Day.

Drivers in some parts of the country will find sub-$3 gas. As of Thursday, the average price is below $3 per gallon in 15 states, including Georgia, Texas, North Carolina and Iowa, according to AAA, the automotive and trip-planning group.

The relatively low fuel costs offer a bright spot to consumers still struggling with a higher cost of living at the grocery store, in their utility bills and elsewhere.
