The national average price of a gallon of regular unleaded fell three cents to $2.51 following the Thanksgiving holiday, and has been getting cheaper for the past 10 days, according to AAA.
On Nov. 27, drivers could find gasoline that was cheaper than $2.50 per gallon at less than 63% of the stations. For the week, 49 states are paying less than they were a week ago, while Hawaii and Washington, D.C. drivers are paying one cent more. Prices have fallen between one and 15 cents across the country.
