The national average price for regular gas continued to decrease on Tuesday, dropping to $4.29 per gallon, according to AAA. It marked a 20-cent-per-gallon drop from a week ago, when gas cost $4.491.

Gas prices have been steadily decreasing over the last 11 days, after setting a new 2026 record high on May 21 at $4.564 per gallon. The decline in prices began on Memorial Day weekend, traditionally the start of the summer driving season and, with it, typically an increase in pump prices.
