Ther price at the pump for gasoline has plummeted 20-cent per gallon over the past two weeks.
Gas prices are free falling, and that’s putting a smile on the faces of many local motorists ahead of the Fourth of July celebration. On Friday, the price at the pump posted by most gas stations in Gainesville was below $2 a gallon — a drop of 20 cents per gallon over the past two weeks in some places. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen it below $2,” said Matt Hancock, as he filled up at the midtown RaceTrac on E.E. Butler Parkway, where the price was $1.96 per gallon.
