Gas prices fall before Thanksgiving -- but there's a catch

Gas prices still could decline over the next few weeks but could begin to increase once again closer to Christmas due to an increased price of oil if production is cut.

The price for a gallon of regular unleaded averaged $2.48 on Tuesday - 7 cents lower than a week ago and 28 cents lower than a month ago, AAA said. Prices are projected to sink even further to an average of $2.57 per gallon by Thanksgiving on Thursday. Gas prices are also higher than they were a year ago in Denver by almost 13 cents.

However, prices are actually at their highest level for Thanksgiving weekend since 2014, when customers paid an average of $2.79 per gallon at the pump. Still, bargain hunters could find much lower prices in the tricounty region if they look hard enough, or use the price-comparison app and website GasBuddy.com. The U.S. benchmark for crude oil dropped to $55.69 last week, about $20 less than the year's high, which was hit only about a month earlier.

The drop in gas prices comes just in time for the busy Thanksgiving travel week where 48.5 million people are set to hit the roads - which is an increase from past year, according to AAA.

A total of five states had at least one gas station selling gas for less than $2 per gallon as of last week, and the national average price has fallen steadily.
