(MSC News)--Gas prices across Kansas are the lowest they've been since the 2008 Thanksgiving travel weekend.
That word comes from AAA, with the agency saying the state average stands at $1.90, compared to the 2008 average of $1.81.
The comparison comes as AAA predicts 3.9 million motorists hitting the road for their Thanksgiving Day travel destinations.
The average Kansas price for a gallon of gas has dropped for 41 consecutive days, from $2.11 that motorists were paying at the pumps as of October 11. Topeka remains the fourth lowest price gas average in the nation.
At last check, only 31 towns in Kansas remained at an average over $2.00. Nationwide, retail averages have fallen steadily since November 6, for a total savings of eight cents per gallon. According to AAA, the national average is expected to near $2.00 a gallon by the end of the year.
