Gas for $2.89 a gallon is commonplace in and around Omaha, along with some stations even lower, here’s one in Ralston for $2.79 a gallon, and it’s just in time for Thanksgiving travel as experts tell us the dip in prices is tied to lower demand and more U.S. production.

And the Metro prices are among the lowest in the state.

The national average right now is $3.31 a gallon, and as experts tell us the dip in prices is tied to lower demand and more U.S. production, the average price in Nebraska is $3.10.

North Platte is at the high end averaging $3.45 a gallon for regular, Lincoln $3.29, Grand Island $3.01, while Omaha sits at $2.89.

One year ago, the statewide average was $3.46.
