Motorists can expect to spend an average of $ 3.08 for a gallon of regular gas over the federal holiday , according to GasBuddy , a fuel savings platform.

That's 50 cents a gallon less than for Memorial Day in 2024 .

Cheaper gas this time of year is unusual given that fuel prices typically rise during the spring and summer as demand increases.

Federal regulations requiring refineries shift to summer-grade blends that are less likely to evaporate also tend to boost fuel costs.
