Your Labor Day Weekend just got a little more affordable! If you plan to hit the road over the long weekend, be sure to fill up because gas prices will be doing a throwback to Labor Day 2020.
I’m sure we all have some…uh…bad memories when it comes to 2020. But I will say, the price at the pump back then was a thing of beauty. For example, I took a roughly 1,500-mile trip in 2020 for around $100 in gas. Good times. Good times.
WASHINGTON —Over the holiday weekend, gas prices are projected to hit their lowest levels since Labor Day 2020, according to GasBuddy’s annual Labor Day price forecast.
Labor Day gas prices averaged $2.22 a gallon in 2020, $3.16 in 2021, $3.79 in 2022, $3.77 in 2023, and $3.29 in 2024.
And this weekend, according to GasBuddy, they’re projected to be at $3.15 a gallon.
The White House is celebrating the news, noting that it fulfills President Donald Trump’s promise to bring down the rising costs of living for many Americans.
“From Memorial Day to Labor Day, Americans have been saving significant money at the pump all summer long with the cheapest gas prices in 5 years,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told The Daily Wire.
“President Trump promised to unleash American energy and make everyday life more affordable for families, and he delivered,” she added.
USA! USA!
It is a relief to see the prices of goods slowly lowering. I’ve also noticed I don’t want to cry when I buy eggs anymore, so that is a plus. The economy still has a long way to go, but these changes are promising.
