Gas pump price dips below $2 dollars

A sign at a Greenville gas pump over the weekend read $1.99 for regular. The motor club AAA says those driving to Christmas/New Year’s destinations are encountering the lowest gas prices since 2009. South Carolinians are currently paying 79 cents less for a gallon of gas than they were a year ago. And gas prices in South Carolina are 32 cents lower than Thanksgiving Day. AAA predicts a record number of South Carolinians, 1.3 million, will travel 50 miles or more for the Christmas/New Year’s holidays.
