Gas prices drop for holidays

November 12, 2012 12:00 AM
If you plan on driving over the river and through the woods this Thanksgiving, gas companies have you in mind. An increase in supply is bringing oil prices down.Over the last three months, the average price of gas in Utah has dropped thirteen cents to $3.70 per gallon. Holiday travelers like Aubrey Schrag feel this is good news. Each year, Schrag makes the drive from Salt Lake City to his parents' home in Kansas, and he feels the price pinch at the pump. 'I have noticed it at least going down. This is the lower season so that helps, especially for traveling home. I'd say that it's manageable at least for myself right now. But it’s definitely tough, and it adds up,' he said.
