Gas prices are finally below $4 a gallon, but Thanksgiving fuel costs will still be the highest since 2000

Gas prices have dipped below $4 a gallon for the first time in a while, but experts warn that Thanksgiving travel costs will still hit an all-time high since 2000. Patrick De Haan from GasBuddy explains that despite the current drop, surging fuel expenses are set to make this holiday one of the most expensive on record. This trend underscores the ongoing economic challenges faced by consumers, particularly as travel demand surges post-pandemic. The spike in costs highlights broader inflationary pressures affecting everyday expenses.
