pumpinggasTHUMBCHICAGO (AP) – The average price for a gallon of gas has fallen below the $2.50 mark for the first time in about five years. Oil analyst Patrick DeHaan of GasBuddy.com says the price of gas has dropped 41 cents over the last month with the average now at $2.46 a gallon.
 
     According to GasBuddy.com, Texas features the lowest gas price with a station in Keller selling fuel for $1.69.
 
     DeHaan says while the price of gas should continue to fall as the year comes to a close, the rate will not be as dramatic since gas prices have just about matched the steep decline in oil prices.
