Gas prices at Vinton stations dropped to less than $2 per gallon for the first time in several years this week. Most local stations offered their "regular" product for $1.9999 this morning.

The U.S. Department of Energy reports that crude oil prices have fallen to their lowest level since May of 2010. See that report HERE.
