Retail gas prices continue to climb across the country with nearly every state’s average moving higher. But drivers are enjoying the lowest gas prices for Memorial Day since the 2000s. For the week, the national average for regular adds four cents to $1.89 a gallon. The Oregon average inches up a cent to $2.40.
Despite cheap gas prices, AAA expects this Memorial Day holiday to set a record low for travel volume. Although travel restrictions are easing in most states, many areas simply aren’t ready yet to welcome tourists with open arms. And many would-be travelers aren’t ready to hit the road yet, either.
