How gas prices have changed in North Dakota in the last week – 11/2/2024
STACKER — The median price for a gallon of gas fell below $3 this week , according to GasBuddy data. The national average remains a bit higher; however, the declining average cost seen in recent weeks "will likely keep rolling and fall below $3 soon ," AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said.
Prices at the pump have hit three-year lows as the winter season gives way to lower travel demand and cheaper blends of fuel at retail gas stations. The recent bout of hurricanes in the southeastern United States and conflict in the Middle East have failed to show up in the form of higher gas prices for American drivers ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
"While many Americans may incorrectly credit the upcoming election for the declines, politicians have little influence over the strong seasonal forces that drive prices lower in autumn," GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan said in a statement Monday.
States including Texas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Louisiana had the lowest advertised gas prices this week, while Hawai'i, California, Washington, and Nevada had the highest, according to AAA data.
