Gas prices expected to drop in coming days

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Just in time for your holiday travels, experts expect gas prices to lower in the next couple days.

Based on a recent survey of gas stations in the state, the company GasBuddy expects prices to drop under $2/gallon as the price of oil continues to decline.

Gas station owner Ash Tilhun said the decline in price is a change compared to what he usually sees around the Thanksgiving holiday.

“Traditionally, this time of the year, the prices were a little bit high because a lot of people will be on the highway for the holidays, but it’s no more the fact,” he said.

GasBuddy says North Carolina has not seen gas prices this low since March 2009. For a list of gas prices in our area, download the WWAY mobile app.
