RICHMOND HEIGHTS, Ohio (WOIO) - Filling up your tank can be hard on your wallet, but this holiday weekend we will see some relief at the pump.

According to GasBuddy, during this Memorial Day weekend, the national average for a gallon of gas is $3.08.

That’s down 50 cents since last year and the price could fall below $3.00 this summer

It’s welcome news for drivers at a Richmond Heights gas station.

“It definitely doesn’t hurt for the prices to be low,” said one driver.

This dip in prices comes just in time for Jeff Bohatch and his family this holiday weekend.

“We’re going a long distance down south, so we are hoping that they are the prices that they are today,” said Bohatch.

The American Automobile Association estimates a record 45.1 million Americans will travel more than 50 miles this holiday.
