Americans are expected to get a bonus in their wallets at the gas pump this Labor Day.
Average gas prices over the holiday weekend are projected to be their lowest in several years.
The estimated average price for gas over the Labor Day holiday will be $3.15 per gallon.
The figure is 14 cents lower than in 2024, and the lowest since 2020.
“Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, and when it comes to gas prices, it’s been the cheapest summer to hit the road since the pandemic, a trend that will likely continue with the potential for the national average to fall below $3 per gallon this fall,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
“We’ve seen a remarkably affordable summer to hit the road with incomes up and gas prices down, but there are some challenges that remain: hurricane season and uncertainty over trade, tariffs and Russia’s war on Ukraine. However, I remain optimistic that as cooler weather invades, gas prices too, will seasonally cool off,” he added.

While it will be the most affordable Labor Day weekend to fill up for most in the last five years, gas prices in nearly half of all states have risen in the last month due to localized refinery outages. However, motorists can expect more relief to arrive in the weeks ahead as much of the nation will see the transition back to cheaper winter gasoline in mid-September. Gasoline demand will also soon begin to fall with the conclusion of the summer as motorists take fewer road trips and as temperatures start to cool off.
5 Years of Average Labor Day Gas Prices:
- 2020: $2.22/gal
- 2021: $3.16/gal
- 2022: $3.79/gal
- 2023 $3.77/gal
- 2024: $3.29/gal
- 2025: $3.15/gal (projected)
“Labor Day is expected to bring record-breaking travel across the U.S., with United Airlines alone planning to fly more than 3 million people over the holiday. More than 38 million people are expected to hit the road as gas prices are down,” CBS Evening News stated.

Lots of people drive over the holiday weekend, and consumer costs will be a battleground in the midterm elections.
Gasoline prices have ticked up recently but could be heading back down if predictions of softening oil supply-demand balances come to pass.
But electricity prices are going the other way, so the politics of energy are getting complicated.
