Gas prices remain steady over the last week

By and 09/24/2024 | updated 1 year ago

The recent trend of falling gas prices halted for a couple of days as the national average for a gallon of gas remained steady on Sunday and Monday at $3.208. Incidentally, this was the same price as a week ago, according to AAA. 

Monday’s price for a gallon of gas comes after weeks of decreasing prices at the pumps. The current cost of a gallon of regular gas is much cheaper than a month ago, when it was $3.374. It’s also significantly more affordable than this time last year, when the national average price for a gallon of regular gas was $3.851.

Gas prices remain a vital topic heading into the 2024 presidential election. A recent commercial by former President Donald Trump focused on high gas prices throughout the country. With President Joe Biden deciding not to seek reelection, Vice President Kamala Harris, now the Democratic presidential nominee, has to indicate how she will address the country’s gas prices and energy costs and how both affect the economy and people’s finances.
