Sheetz lowers gas prices on Independence Day

or something that celebrates the 4th of July, but today at the gas pump, yes, it's because North Carolinians are seeing some of the lowest gas

prices

in quite some time, yes, AAA says the average price of the state is 3.21 cents per gallon, it's down over a dollar from a year ago and dropping those numbers even further, a local gas station has all of their grades of gasoline actually at a dollar point seven seven six so 1776 uh celebrating the birth of our nation this 4th of July that's cool yeah so let's go Look at the impact here on pricing because WCNC sexy Charlotte Wilson will be joining us from the sheets at Troutman so here's where you You're carrying out that deal right now and it seems very busy behind you, I mean, I think I see. quite a few people actually waiting in line to get to different pumps oh yeah a lot of people are waiting for this gas now let me tell you that Sheets is celebrating the 4th of July by giving these patriotic

prices

at all of their gas stations.

In this long line that is still forming here at Troutman, this is actually one of the least busy times we've seen all day, some people even tell us that they abandoned the barbecue to get these overseas deals, these sheets and Troutman some with a few gasoline cans on the side. I got a message on the family group text message this morning and said I won't be at the cookout but I will be available for gas. The popular gas station chain is selling gas for 1.77 per gallon today. 1776 to be exact or 17.76 if you will, the year the Declaration of Independence was signed, customers are taking full advantage of gas prices they may never see again, it is the cheapest it has ever been in my life, my parents told me that's how it was when they were kids, but since I started driving it's always been at least three dollars.

The one-day price is a big discount compared to prices in Charlotte, which yesterday reached about three dollars and 27 cents, according to GasBuddy, last year prices were around 4.79 per gallon. I know inflation is very high right now, but I hope it continues to go down, especially for everyone in the United States, because since everyone has to work hard this promotion will last all day while supplies last, we have now seen certain grades of fuel . Reporting live at Troutman for WCNC Charlotte is already sold out. I'm Lexi Wilson. It's a great idea, especially, to play The Birth of a Nation like this, yes, free games, but very close, very close, Lexi, thank you very much.
