Spied this morning in the Columbia area: Gas going for less than $1.90 a gallon on Bush River Road and along S.C. 6 near I-20.
The last time prices that low were the norm in the Midlands was mid-March 2005, when gas was getting ready to pass the $2 barrier for the first time.
For now, the area metro average for regular stands at $2.06.5 after the weekend -- down almost $1.53 a gallon over the past month, according to AAA data.
That means you're saving nearly $23 on a 15-gallon fill-up since October.
