00:00Labor Day weekend gas prices are expected to be the lowest since 2020.
00:04That's according to an analysis by GasBuddy, which predicts gas prices nationwide will dip to $3.15 by this weekend.
00:14It may be a far cry from the $2.22 seen in 2020, but it's welcome news for drivers hitting the road this holiday weekend.
00:23Industry analysts expect the trend to continue, noting that this is typically when demand falls as summer ends and as refineries switch to cheaper winter blends of gasoline.
00:33Gas prices globally have remained steady as oil producers have increased production, and OPEC recently announced its plans to ramp up production even further next month.
00:43As for drivers, AAA recommends shopping around gas stations for the best prices.
00:48They note that gas stations near highways typically see high demand, which leads to more expensive gas, and say you shouldn't just go with a gas station because it's conveniently located.
00:59There are multiple apps available to track the cheapest gas stations.
