GasBuddy projects the national average price for regular gas will stand at $3.49 a gallon on Independence Day.
Road trips are not going to break the bank this Fourth of July. GasBuddy projects the national average price for regular gas will stand at $3.49 a gallon on Independence Day. That’s a penny shy of the price a year ago and down sharply from $4.79 two years ago when oil prices spiked after Russia invaded Ukraine. Adjusted for inflation, US gas prices are almost exactly where they were in July 2018, according to federal data. Drivers in some parts of the country will spend much less on gas than last Fourth of July. According to GasBuddy, the average price for regular gas is down by 71 cents from a year ago in the state of Washington, 60 cents in Oregon, 44 cents in Utah and 42 cents in Colorado.
