Gas Prices Could Drop Below $2 Per Gallon Thanks To Coronavirus
If there could possibly be a positive benefit from the outbreak of the coronavirus, it looks like it could benefit us a lot at the pumps.
The coronavirus panic is creating a huge problem for many businesses as goods cannot be shipped, people cannot fly, and many are simply on lockdown.
However, according to a story on WIVB, the AAA, we could see a benefit from it all very soon.
That benefit, is lower gas prices. They're estimating that coronavirus epidemic is creating an oil war that could push prices under $2 per gallon in the next couple weeks.
The current average right now is $2.38 per gallon.
