Gasoline prices fell several cents over the past week as demand “plunged,” according to AAA.

The national average hasn’t dipped below $3 as analysts forecast just yet, but drivers will still enjoy some of the lowest gas prices in years as they hit the road for Thanksgiving. A GasBuddy survey indicates 72% of Americans will road trip to their Thanksgiving destinations this holiday season.

“We expect prices to remain seasonally low leading up to the holidays, making road trips a more affordable option for millions of Americans,” GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan said in a statement.
