Gas prices on Memorial Day weekend are expected to be as high as they’ve been since 2014.
The national average is expected to be $2.98 per gallon, with California averaging about $4.17, according to GasBuddy
. The Tahoe Basin’s average gas price is $4.51.
“In the lead up to Memorial Day, we haven’t seen gas prices come down much, though with oil’s recent move lower, we should start to see more drops at the pump materialize in the days ahead,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy.
