Gas Prices Drop Below $2 In North Escambia

October 28, 2015

Gas prices have finally fallen below $2 a gallon in North Escambia, with several Cantonment stations at $1.99 or even $1.98 on Tuesday.  Across the Escambia County area, gas prices in the area are dipping again and should fall further by the end of the year, according to AAA.

Gas prices had inched up in recent weeks, partly because routine maintenance at refineries shrunk supplies. Normal production resumed last week at many refineries.

On Monday, the price of regular unleaded in Escambia County averaged $2.08 per gallon, down 11 cents from a week earlier. It was 86 cents cheaper than a year ago.

The national average currently sits at $2.20 per gallon, the lowest price since February.

Picturd: A gallon of regular unleaded was down to $1.99 Tuesday on Highway 29 in Cantonment. NorthEscambia.com photos, click to enlarge.
