WOODBURY, MN — Shockingly, several gas stations to the south of Woodbury sold regular fuel for less than $4 per gallon on Monday. The drop in local prices follows a nationwide trend that began in mid-June, when gas prices peaked and soon began falling.

"Consumers appear to be taking the pressure off their wallets by fueling up less," said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson.

"And there’s reason to be cautiously optimistic that pump prices will continue to fall, particularly if the global price for oil does not spike. But the overall situation remains very volatile."
