By Chris Peters
Two-buck gas could be coming to a gas station near you.
Gas prices have dropped 40 cents this month, and the downward trend is expected to continue through the holidays.
Pump prices peaked this year in Nebraska at $2.87 on June 2. Wednesday, the average was $2.37 in Nebraska and $2.29 in Iowa for regular unleaded fuel.
The lowest pump price in Nebraska as of Wednesday morning could be found at the Cubby's in Yutan, just west of Omaha. At $1.99, manager Marie Pelo said she's feeling the strain as prices fall.

It also funds the War on Cars that has RW-hate radio in a tizzy here. Meaning the DOT also uses it to build bike lanes.

In general, crude oil and gasoline RBOB (Reformulated Blendstock for Oxygen Blending) aka Unleaded Gas tend to rise during the spring, reach their peak during the summer, then decline in the fall/winter months.
No "miracle" at play here; prices have been dropping since the beginning of October.
