AAA projects 43.5 million Americans will take a road trip this Thanksgiving – including 142,500 South Dakotans – and drivers will pay the second-cheapest Thanksgiving gas prices since 2008, when the national average was $1.85. Today’s national average price of $2.14 per gallon represents a savings of three cents per gallon versus one week ago and nine cents per gallon on the month. Significant yearly savings persist and pump prices are only five cents higher than compared to last year.
South Dakota’s pump price has dropped 6 cents since last week to stand today at $2.139, according to http://gasprices.aaa.com.
