Heading into the Thanksgiving holiday, drivers should benefit from falling fuel prices, with the national average for a gallon of gasoline dropping 11 cents in the past week to $3.66 according to AAA.

As of Wednesday, the average price per gallon of regular 87 octane gasoline in Butler County sat at $3.91 according to AAA, while the average price in Pennsylvania was $4.01.

With the hopes to alleviate some pressure at the pump, restaurant and convenience store chain Sheetz announced Monday it’s reducing the price of its Unleaded 88 gasoline to $1.99 per gallon through the weekend.

The price will be available only at the 368 Sheetz stores that offer Unleaded 88, and drivers can check if their local Sheetz sells Unleaded 88 through the Sheetz mobile app.
