The average price of gasoline in the U.S. is projected to hit its lowest level in years ahead of Labor Day weekend. According to GasBuddy, drivers can expect prices around $3.15 per gallon, about 14 cents less than a year ago.

Experts predict the downward trend will carry into the fall, with the national average possibly slipping below $3 per gallon. Gas prices have steadily declined throughout the summer, giving travelers some relief at the pump.

As the season winds down, demand for fuel typically falls, further contributing to the nationwide drop in prices.
By the way, I figured out that Kroger gas stations are the cheapest I have found in town!
