The average price of gas in the United States fell below $4 per gallon Thursday for the first time in months, according to the AAA, offering some respite to drivers. 

At $3.99, the price is the lowest it’s been since early March.

Gasoline prices surged to a record high in June at $5.02 per gallon amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to AAA data.

The AAA, formerly the American Automobile Association, had anticipated that the national average could drop to below $4 this month as fears of major restrictions on supply have eased since the invasion began in February.

It also noted that fewer drivers have been fueling up lately, as people change "their driving habits to cope with higher pump prices."
