US Gas Prices Expected to Drop Below $3/Gallon Ahead of Election
Analysts predict a significant decline in fuel costs, providing potential political benefits for Vice President Kamala Harris.
- The national average for regular gasoline is currently $3.24 per gallon, down from $3.44 a month ago.
- Thirteen states already have average gas prices below $3 per gallon, with more expected to follow.
- Weaker fuel demand and lower oil prices are key factors driving the decrease in gasoline prices.
- The drop in gas prices could positively impact Harris's presidential campaign, especially in swing states.
- Hurricane Francine poses a potential risk to oil production, which could temporarily affect fuel prices.
