GOOD NEWS?

Maybe.

Drivers who can stretch that last drop of gas through the weekend will be in for an early Christmas treat — fuel prices will drop Monday.

Prices at Army and Air Force Exchange Service gas pumps throughout Europe will be about five cents per gallon lower, except for diesel fuel, which remains the same, according to an AAFES news release.

In Germany, regular unleaded will be sold for $1.70, super unleaded will be $1.80, and super plus unleaded will be sold for $1.89 per gallon.

But here in South Carolina I'm buying gas for $1.39 per gallon.

That is 31 cents per gallon less than AAFES new, "lower" prices.

And that is with who knows how much taxes built in to the SC price.
