Quick Summary

Average US gasoline prices fell below $4 per gallon for the first time since July, dropping more than 12 cents in a single week according to AAA gas prices. Despite this decrease, current prices are still higher than ever before during November and were nearly $1 more compared to last year's rates. The decline is linked to falling oil prices; West Texas Intermediate crude dropped from over $104 per barrel at the end of October to around $84 as of Tuesday morning. California had the highest gas prices at $5.83 per gallon, while North Carolina offered the lowest at $3.34 per gallon.

Story summary

As of November 10, 2026, the national average price for a gallon of gasoline in the U.S. fell below $4 per gallon for the first time since July, according to data from AAA and GasBuddy. The drop came after oil prices plunged, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude falling below $90 a barrel on November 7, marking its lowest point since August. Patrick De Haan, a petroleum expert at GasBuddy, predicts that fuel prices will continue to ease into the Thanksgiving holidays due to factors like switching from summer-blend fuels to cheaper winter blends and reduced demand during colder months. Despite this relief at the pump, overall inflation remains high, with consumer prices increasing by 0.4% in October, driven largely by rising housing and grocery costs.
