Gas prices in the Metro have once again dipped below the $3 mark.

Some of the lowest gas prices in the state have found their way to stations in and around Omaha.

Drivers have been able to fill up for $2.99 a gallon over the past several days.

I's not clear how long it will last but according to AAA  the Metro average is $3.05 a  gallon.

That’s down from $3.13 a week ago, $3.30 a month ago and $3.55 a year ago.

Some economists, still thinking a recession is on the way, expect oil prices to drop as demand drops.

That would further lower the price at the pump, but other economists still aren’t sold on that recession prediction.
