COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– Drivers in South Carolina are getting an early Christmas present, low gas prices.
Columbia Gas Prices dot com and Gas Buddy show the midlands average around $2.13 a gallon, which is down from $2.50 a gallon just last month.
Several gas stations around our area are showing prices below $2 a gallon, ABC Columbia News found at least two gas stations off Two Notch Road with prices right below $2.00 per gallon.

AAA says the drop is due to falling crude oil prices and the switch to a winter fuel mix.
