CINCINNATI, Oh. -- September 4, 2018 -- AAA forecasts that the national gas price average will drop to $2.70 this fall and has the potential to drop even more. That is 14-cents less a gallon compared to today’s price and more than a quarter cheaper than this year’s recorded high of $2.97 set in May.
“Cheaper-to-produce gasoline and relatively stable crude oil prices in August, combined with an anticipated drop in consumer gasoline demand post-Labor Day, means consumers will see savings when they fill-up at the pump this fall,” said Jenifer Moore, AAA spokeswoman. “However, several outliers can reverse this forecast, including crude oil prices, geopolitical tensions and the mere threat of a hurricane.”
2018 gas prices have been significantly more expensive than 2017. In fact, the year-to-date-national gas price average ($2.71) is 41-cents more. Trends for year-over-year state averages include:
