Gas prices continued to fall nationwide on Sunday heading into the workweek. The national average for regular gas dropped to $3.173 per gallon, according to AAA. This is the lowest average cost for a gallon of regular gas since January 2024, which was $3.075.

The cost of gas remains a vital topic heading into the 2024 presidential election. With President Joe Biden deciding not to seek reelection, Vice President Kamala Harris, now the Democratic presidential nominee, has to indicate how she will address the country’s gas prices and energy costs and how both affect the economy and people’s finances.
