But "we may end up seeing the lowest Thanksgiving prices in five years if prices continue to trend lower this week,” notes GasBuddy’s head of petroleum analysis Patrick DeHaan in a release. He points to reduced demand as the main cause for the lower prices but warns that when a vaccine becomes available, demand – and prices – will rise with more travel.
