For example, Monday&rsquo;s national average price was less expensive than a month ago, when the average cost for a gallon of regular gas in the country was $3.194. Wednesday&rsquo;s price was cheaper than last month, when a gallon of regular gas was $3.185. For the most part, there has not been the customary summer surge in gas prices this year, due to crude oil prices remaining around $65 a barrel, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to AAA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Fuel costs this summer have been much less expensive than in recent years, with the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline being the cheapest since 2020, when it was $2.272, according to the U.S.<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/dnav\/pet\/hist\/leafhandler.ashx?f=m&amp;n=pet&amp;s=emm_epm0_pte_nus_dpg\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Energy Information Administration<\/a>. In July 2024, the average price was $3.60 per gallon. In 2023, fuel costs were higher at $3.712 per gallon. Gas prices surged in July 2022, costing $4.668 per gallon, the second most expensive monthly average in the country&rsquo;s history. In July 2021, the average cost for gas was $3.23.<\/p>\n<p>Most fuel cost commentaries have highlighted the $3 per gallon price point as a barometer of fuel cost affordability in the country. With the price of gas decreasing in recent months, the number of states averaging less than $3 per gallon has increased. However, that has changed a few times over the last month. On June 27, 17 states had average prices under $3. By Monday, June 30, that total rose to 21 states. In early July, it dropped to 20 states. A week ago, it rose back to 22 states. Today, the total is back to 23 states, the most states with average gas prices under $3 per gallon since summer began.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, different regions have different gas prices, sometimes substantially.
