FYI: According to AAA, 46 million Americans will either hop in a car, plane, train, or boat this July 4th weekend, and while gas prices are up on the year, relative to prior July 4th weekends they haven’t been this low in over a decade. The table to the right shows the YTD change for the national average price of a gallon of gas as of 6/29 along with the YTD change. At a national average price of $2.294 per gallon, prices are up 14.9%. While that’s the largest YTD change in five years, because prices are coming off such a low base the absolute price remains low.
