Gas prices haven't been this low locally since 2010, when they closed the year at about $3.09 a gallon.

Tom Kloza, senior oil price analyst for the Oil Price Information Service and GasBuddy.com, told news-press.com last month that by the end of the year in Lee County "the more aggressive retailers (will) get right down to $3 a gallon, but the average price won't quite get there."

He predicted the more significant drops in prices would happen between Oct. 15 and Dec. 15.
