Travel is expected to be up this Thanksgiving, thanks in large part to the drop in fuel prices, which has been almost double-digit in the past week.
According to gasbuddy.com, the average price for a gallon of regular gas in Texas is averaging $2.57 a gallon, that's down nine cents in the past week.
In Louisiana, a gallon’s averaging $2.60, down eight cents in a week.
Nationally, the average is $2.80, which is six cents less than last week and 55 cents less from the same time a year ago.
Here at home, checking prices this morning in Center, it remains below the statewide average as the lowest we found was $2.55 at Wal-Mart, down seven cents in the past week.
By the way, that price is down over 30 cents in the past month.
