BUT NO WASH OUT BY ANY MEANS.
THANK YOU, MOLLY.

THIS YEAR IS MORE TO CELEBRATE
THAN JUST THE NATION'S
BIRTHDAY.
MANY PEOPLE ARE FINDING A
WELCOME SURPRISE WHEN GOING TO
THE GAS STATION AND GROCERY
STORE.
NATIONALLY GAS PRICES ARE THE
LOWEST THEY HAVE BEEN DURING
THE 4TH OF JULY WEEK SINCE 2005
ACCORDING TO GASBUDDY.COM.
A 12-YEAR-OLD.
BEEF IS CHEAPER TOO.
A RECENT BEEF IN BEEF
PRODUCTION HAS DROPPED BEEF
PRICES TO LOWEST LEVEL IN THREE
YEARS.
WE TUKD DRIVERS AND SHOPPERS
ABOUT WHAT SAVINGS MEAN TO
THEM.
Reporter: WHILE YOU MIGHT
EXPECT A TRAFFIC JAM ON THE
HIGHWAY YOU MIGHT FIND ONE AT
THE GAS STATION THIS WEEK.
NEARLY EVERY PUMP HAS SOMEONE
FILLING UP.
A GALLON OF REGULAR UNLADIED
GAS IS -- UNLEDED GAS IS
SELLING FOR $2.06.
YES, IT'S AWESOME.
I LIKE IT MEANS MORE MONEY
FOR OTHER THINGS.
Reporter: GASBUDDY.COM SHOWS
IN MINNESOTA THE AVERAGE PRICE
FOR A GALLON OF UNLEDED GAS WAS
$2.17.
NATIONALLY IT'S $2.21 WHICH
FALSE BELOW THE -- FALLS BELOW
THE 10 YEAR AVERAGE.
SEVERAL CUSTOMERS REMEMBER
YEARS WHEN GAS WAS MUCH MORE
EXPENSIVE.
IT WASN'T TOO MANY YEARS IT
WAS LIKE 4 SOMETHING A GALLON
AND YOU KNOW IT WOULD BE $70 TO
FILL THIS UP AND I JUST FILLED
IT UP AND IT'S $37.40, YOU KNOW
IT'S LIKE HALF PRICE.
Reporter: YOU THINK THANK A
GLOBAL SUPPLY GLUT FOR THE DROP
IN PRICES AND A BOOST IN
PRODUCTION OF BEEF FOR BETTER
PRICES FOR THE MEAT YOU MAYBE
-- MEAT YOU MAYBE PLANNING TO
GROW.
AND FOR GUYS LIKE THIS MAN OF
RACINE WISCONSIN WHO'S VISITING
FRIENDS AND FAMILY, IT'S A
GREAT COMBINATION I HAVE MORE
MONEY TO SPEND ON OTHER THINGS
SO IT WORKS OUT.
MORE FOOD FOR THE BARBECUE.
