What’s Keeping the Global Economy Afloat? Cheap Gasoline

Prices projected to drop even more

According to projections by GasBuddy, pump prices could fall even further this year. It estimates some 10,000 service stations could charge below $2 a gallon by Thanksgiving, in part because during autumn gas stations switch to lower-price, winter-grade fuel. About two dozen gas stations already have sub-$2 prices, mostly in Southern states such as Alabama, Mississippi and Texas.
