Gas Prices Down as Last-Minute Travelers Hit The Road for Labor Day

Feeling like you need to take a road trip, after all, this Labor Day weekend?

There’s some good and bad news.

First the good:  According to AAA, gas prices are down.  And experts note that they could hit the lowest levels in more than 15 years.

Now the bad:  Lots more cars will be on the road. Estimates show 60% of Americans are traveling (“Road trip!”) over this holiday weekend.

“It’s entirely fueled by COVID-19 keeping people at home and away from filling their tanks,” said Patrick DeHaan, head of the price checking website GasBuddy.
