Sheetz announces limited-time discount on gas ahead of July 4 holiday

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- The gas company, Sheetz, announced they are reducing the price of gas for its customers for a limited time.

The price of fuel is dropping is $3.99 a gallon for Unleaded 88 gas. That type of gas is approved by the EPA for use in vehicles for model years 2001 or newer as well as light-duty trucks, SUVs and flex fuel vehicles.

Customers have until July 4 to take advantage of the discount.

ABC11 spoke with one driver who said he already knows he is gonna save money.

"I'm gonna save at least about $40 cause normally I try not to let it go below half so I put in 25, 30 at a time but now I guess I can fill it up."

Meanwhile gas prices are still dropping. AAA Carolinas says the average in the state is now $4.52 a gallon.

That's down nine cents in a week.

The national average is $4.88 a gallon.

The discount at the pump is due to a recent drop in crude oil and gasoline futures prices.

Even though prices are dropping we are still seeing the highest in history for the Independence Day holiday.
