Americans celebrating Memorial Day by hitting the road will likely be paying the cheapest gas prices since 2003.
GasBuddy, a fuel savings platform, said Tuesday that it forecasts the national average price of gasoline to be $3.08 per gallon on Memorial Day. That would make it the cheapest since 2021 in nominal terms. After adjusting for inflation, it would be the lowest since 2003.
This is not expected to be short-lived. Prices of gasoline are expected to average around $3.02 per gallon between Memorial Day and Labor Day, with prices falling below three dollars on some days.
That’s likely to bring cheer to the 69 percent of Americans who plan on taking a road trip this summer.
“American road trip culture remains resilient,” GasBuddy said in a news release announcing their 2025 Summer Travel Survey.
Last summer, the national average price of gasoline was $3.58 per gallon on Memorial Day. This year’s lower price reflects increased oil production that has lowered crude oil prices. A barrel of Brent Crude, the global standard for oil prices, is currently priced at $65.07, down significantly from the $83.71 a year ago.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
$2.69 at Shell by my house in central Alabama today.
WalMart FINALLY dropped egg prices by $3.00 on my 18 count. After the whole country gets lower prices. Whether it’s a coincidence it happened the day after Trump called out WalMart on tariffs or not. I don’t care. I was tired of being hosed.
Good sign for prices in the late summer on, as well.
Gas was $2.69 in the bigger town 20 miles from us, A few days ago. Everything is higher in our depressed little town -— $2.79/gallon, at the Love’s and Casey’s down from $2.89 a week ago.
3.07 where I just came from.
$2.85 at the river in AZ 2 weeks ago, about $5 in California still though
Gee I remember that during Pres. Trump’s first term we were paying around $1.90/gal for Regular Gas. Has inflation caused that much increase in it?
White eggs are still $4 a dozen at the walmarts around here. Pasture raised eggs, almost $6 a dozen. The difference in taste between the two is remarkable. “Cage free” eggs, unless pasture or free ranged, taste exactly like the $4 eggs, imho. Aldi prices are the same price.
Gas prices just went up about twenty cents per gallon in my area $2.49 to $2.69
“$2.85 at the river in AZ 2 weeks ago, about $5 in California still though”
Same here. Around $5 gallon where I live in Southern California. Costco is a little cheaper.
The local availability of gas/Diesel is a blessing.
Yeah, I get the brown cage free. I’m probably ripping myself off but I don’t like the idea of chickens never leaving the coop.
Haven’t been to Reno have they. Thanks to where we get ours from, about $4.39+ currently. Yup, cali.
still $3.19 a gal here in SE Michigan... hasnt budget in 6 months...
“Gas prices just went up about twenty cents per gallon in my area $2.49 to $2.69”
Our gas is well above $3.
My wife’s minor problem.
I use a Diesel car for local travel. It has a full tank and about 3 months of Diesel in the garden/fuel shack left over from the end of the BiXiden regime. Given the sunk costs, travel is free for me.
Cage-free is one of only a few egg terms regulated by the USDA. It means that the eggs come from hens that, put simply, aren’t caged: They can “freely roam a building, room, or enclosed area with unlimited access to food and fresh water during their production cycle, but [do] not have access to the outdoors.” Considering the conventional cage is 8½ by 11 inches, or the size of a piece of paper, this seems like a better lifestyle — but there are downsides, too. According to All About Eggs by Rachel Khong, cage-free facilities have more hen-on-hen violence and lower air quality than facilities that use cages.
Pasture-raised is not a term regulated by the USDA; however, if the carton says “pasture-raised” and also includes stamps that say “Certified Humane” and/or “Animal Welfare Approved,” it means that each hen was given 108 square feet of outdoor space, as well as barn space indoors. This is pretty much as close to the bucolic, E-I-E-I-O farm vibe you’ll get when dealing with large-scale egg producers, so if you’re looking to support those practices, keep a look out for those labels.
Apparently, eggs marked organic, must allow the hens outdoor access.

$2.79 to $2.89 in NW Arkansas/US Hwy 412.
Walmart eggs $3.47/doz.
Please let California know about this. Price is $5.09 at my local Chevron and headed higher as two refineries are shutting down.
Thanks, I will take it under advisement.
