Something unusual is happening with gas prices these days. They typically rise in the spring and summer and drop in the fall. That’s not happening this season, but it’s not all bad.

The picture is starting to clear up a bit on gasoline prices in Alabama; they’re trending downward. Diesel fuel is a different commodity, and according to Clay Ingram, fuel prices for the truckers will likely remain where they are because the demand is high for now especially with the holiday season just down the road.

There is no evidence the high gas prices will have any impact on holiday travel this Thanksgiving. In fact, Clay Ingram predicts more than 53 million people this holiday season, 13% higher than last year.

The latest figures from AAA shows the average cost for diesel fuel is $3.45 a gallon.
