Holiday travelers are seeing lower gas prices this holiday season, with regular unleaded dropping below $3 a gallon at a number of stations around the Panhandle.

GasBuddy’s daily survey of 1,150 gas outlets in Nebraska shows the average retail price yesterday was the same as last week at $3.18 a gallon, with the national average also unchanged at $3.24 for a gallon of regular unleaded.

The average Nebraska price is a penny a gallon less than a year ago and 16.1-cents a gallon less than just a month ago.

The national average is 19.1 cents a gallon below last month, but 1.3 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
