People everywhere are happy to see gas drop below the $3 mark.
The price of gas began to fall locally about two weeks ago and according to gas station attendants, cheap gas is a hot conversation topic.
Peggy Pippin, manager of Minit Mart in Cave City, said her customers come in talking about the price of gas all the time.
“They are tickled and they’re just wondering when or if it’s going down any more,” she said.
The price of gas there was $2.98 on Tuesday and the price has been falling rather rapidly.
“I dropped it five days in a row last week,” Pippin said, but Tuesday’s price had held steady since Saturday.
Rita Greever, a cashier at IGA Express on Ky. 90 East, said her customers are also talking about the price of gas.
“They love it,” she said. “They said they wish it would drop down more.”
Greever estimates the price of gas at her store has dropped at least four times in a week.
Mindy Smith, a cashier at Traveler’s Food Mart on Happy Valley Road, said customers talk about who has the cheapest gas and who has the highest-priced gas.
Beverly Kerins, development assistant for Kentucky Repertory Theatre in Horse Cave, spent the weekend in Ohio, where gas is considerably less expensive than in southcentral Kentucky.
Kerins watched the price of gas fall from $2.99 to $2.89 per gallon during her visit to Columbus. She also visited Dayton, where she said the price was $2.74 per gallon.
Kerins and her coworker, Libby Ellis, marketing director for the theater, were discussing gas prices Tuesday morning.
“It just makes you want to wash your car in it. It just makes you get all excited,” Ellis said, adding it’s sad that it takes the falling price of gas to make everyone feel so good.
According to MapQuest, the cheapest gas in the nation can be found in Wheatland, N.Y., where it is $2.17 per gallon. Next is Harlingen, Texas, $2.24 per gallon, followed by Norman, Okla., where it is $2.33 per gallon.
