PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Motorists have reason to give thanks.

The national average for a gallon of gas dropped 18 cents in the past week to $1.88. That's the lowest price in more than three years.

Oregon's statewide average for regular unleaded fell 19 cents to $2.03. Despite the lower fuel prices, Marie Dodds, spokeswoman for AAA Oregon/Idaho, says the number of Thanksgiving travelers is expected to fall 1.4 percent from last year.
