Gas Prices Decline Ahead of Memorial Day Weekend

Biden administration releases gasoline reserves to ease costs, but experts predict limited impact on national prices.

Nearly 44 million Americans expected to travel this Memorial Day, the highest since 2005.
The Biden administration is releasing 1 million barrels from the Northeast Gasoline Supply Reserve.
Experts say the release will modestly reduce prices in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions.
Current national average gas price is $3.61 per gallon, slightly higher than last year.
The release follows a Congressional mandate to close the Northeast reserve.
