US Labor Day Gas Prices Expected Lowest Since 2020

Gas prices for Labor Day 2025 are expected to be the lowest since 2020, with the national average forecasted around $3.15 per gallon, marking a significant decrease from 2024. This has been celebrated by the White House, which credits President Trump’s energy policies for making life more affordable for families. Analysts from GasBuddy and AAA highlight that this summer has been the cheapest for road travel in five years, with prices expected to potentially drop below $3 per gallon in the fall. While some states have seen short-term price rises due to refinery outages, relief is anticipated as the nation transitions to cheaper winter gasoline and demand decreases with cooler weather. Regional prices support this trend, with states like Colorado averaging $3.18 and some locations in South Dakota below the national average. Travelers are advised to plan trips to avoid peak times and use resources like GasBuddy to find the lowest local gas prices.
