The average U.S. price for gasoline on Thursday is expected to be the lowest price for the automobile fuel on Thanksgiving since 2010, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
The U.S. average price on Wednesday was $3.29 per gallon for regular unleaded. In Connecticut, where gasoline taxes are among the highest in the nation, the average was $3.65 per gallon, according to the AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report.
AAA estimates more than 38 million people in the U.S. will travel more than 50 miles from home by automobile for the holiday weekend.
Gasoline prices did rise last week — six cents in Hartford — but the average was still down 14 cents nationwide from last year and down 21 cents in Hartford from 2012.
