Gasoline prices dipped below $2 a gallon earlier this month at lower-priced gas stations in Clark County and were as low as $1.88 a gallon as of Friday, according to the website washingtongasprices.com.
NEW YORK — At some point this will end, perhaps even soon. The price of gasoline will not fall to zero.
But for the first time since 2009, most Americans are paying less than $2 a gallon. Just three months ago, experts were shocked when it fell under $3.
“It’s crazy,” says Michael Noel, an economics professor at Texas Tech University who studies oil and gasoline prices. “But for consumers, it’s very, very good.”
