Memorial Day weekend travelers will take to the road in large numbers enticed in part by gasoline prices that have steadily remained in the low $2 range in Gainesville and other parts of the country.
Memorial Day weekend travelers will take to the road in large numbers enticed in part by gasoline prices that have steadily remained in the low $2 range in Gainesville and other parts of the country. Motorists can expect to see those relatively low gasoline prices through the rest of the summer, according to Patrick DeHaan, a senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy. “There will be small fluctuations, but I would say that gas prices will likely stay within 20 and 30 cents from where they are today, and they could be higher or lower,” DeHaan said.
