00:00Americans are finally catching a break at the gas pump.
00:03The national average price for regular gasoline has fallen below $4 a gallon
00:08for the first time since July, dropping to about $3.98.
00:13That's nearly 40 cents cheaper than a month ago,
00:15as oil prices retreat amid hopes of easing tensions in the war with Iran.
00:20The drop comes just ahead of the busy Thanksgiving travel season,
00:24potentially giving millions of drivers some much-needed relief.
00:27But with inflation still running hot, it's unclear how long the savings will last.
