The nation’s average price of gasoline has falle

The nation’s average price of gasoline has fallen below $3 per gallon for the first time in four years, marking a major milestone for drivers heading into late October. According to GasBuddy® data compiled from over 12 million price reports across 150,000 stations nationwide, the average price dropped 4.1 cents over the past week to $2.98 per gallon.

That’s 19.3 cents lower than a month ago and 15.2 cents less than this time last year. Diesel prices also slid, dropping 3.7 cents to a national average of $3.59 per gallon.

“Gas prices have finally fallen below $3 per gallon nationally — the earliest date we’ve seen a $2.99 national average since 2020, when COVID was the primary driver of low prices,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.

De Haan added that 35 states now have averages below $2.99, with one GasBuddy user even recording a $1.99 cash price in Evans, Colorado. “Stations in Oklahoma and Texas aren’t far behind,” he said. “Barring any major disruptions, gas prices are likely to remain slightly below year-ago levels and could stay under $3 for much of the next few months.”

Where Prices Are Lowest and Highest Drivers in Oklahoma ($2.45), Texas ($2.54), and Arkansas ($2.55) are seeing the cheapest gas in the nation. Meanwhile, California ($4.60), Hawaii ($4.45), and Washington ($4.36) remain the most expensive.

Biggest Weekly Swings Prices surged in Ohio (+20.4¢) but fell sharply in Illinois (-12.1¢), Michigan (-10.1¢), Oregon (-10.0¢), and North Carolina (-9.5¢).

Regional Highlights In New England, Rhode Island drivers are paying an average of $2.95 per gallon, while Florida motorists are filling up for around $2.89.

Rhode Island linebacker A.J. Pena became the progr

Rhode Island linebacker A.J. Pena became the program’s all-time sacks leader and quarterback Devin Farrell threw four touchdown passes as No. 15/16 Rhode Island (6-2, 4-0 CAA) dominated UAlbany 58-17 on Saturday afternoon.

The Rams exploded for their highest point total in 43 years, scoring double digits in three quarters en route to their fourth straight conference win and sixth overall victory of the season.

Rhode Island opened with a 48-yard field goal from Garth White and a 1-yard touchdown by Antwain Littleton Jr. before erupting for a 21-point second quarter. Farrell connected with Greg Gaines III for touchdown strikes of 32 and 42 yards, helping URI take a commanding 31-3 lead into halftime.

Farrell finished 19-of-20 for 333 yards and four touchdowns, spreading the wealth to tight ends Connor Finer (two scores) and Will Dixon (one). Gaines led all receivers with six catches for 153 yards and two touchdowns.

Rhode Island’s defense was just as dominant, recording seven sacks and forcing multiple turnovers. Pena tallied four sacks to bring his career total to 34.5, surpassing Frank Ferrarara’s record of 33 set between 1995 and 1998. Linebacker Case Mankins added two sacks, while cornerback Ayinde Johnson contributed a sack and an interception. Linebacker Moses Meus also snagged a pick, and Gabe Franco forced a fumble that Leisaan Hibbert returned 47 yards for a touchdown.

The 58 points marked Rhode Island’s highest output since a 58-55 win over Maine in 1982 and its first 50-point performance since 2005. The Rams have now clinched at least a .500 record in CAA play for the sixth consecutive season and improved to 13-2 in their last 15 league games.

Rhode Island returns home to face Bryant on Saturday, Oct. 25, with kickoff set for 1 p.m.
