Gas Prices dropping in Asheville and around the Country
In the Asheville area of North Carolina we seem to be recovering from the recent shortages quite well. I’ve seen a few places selling gas for as little as 2.99 a gallon or so which is the first time in a while we’ve been on the low side of 3 dollars per gallon. I’m seeing news reports that this is a national trend and hopefully we’ll all be seeing the price down in the low 2 dollars per gallon soon. I know the current economic uncertainty is having some bearing on the matter, but lower gasoline prices really should help our overall economic situation as it cuts costs for people that need to 1) get to work or 2) need to move goods from point a to point b among other things.

Yes, finally the gas is getting more available throughout NC. For a while there it was pretty bad. Long lines up to 1 mile long and there were actually peuople following the gas trucks at night on the highways to get gas. That was unreal and the price of gas at some spots was upwars of $4.50 to $5 per gallon due to the increased demand and lack of supply.
