GAS PRICES IN ROCKLAND DIP BELOW $2/GALLON by Ken Mahoney

For the first time in well over two years, Rockland gas prices this week have dipped under $2.00. Costco in Nanuet as of noon yesterday was selling regular at $1.89 a gallon and West Nyack’s Fuel Depot was offering the same for $1.99. Falling gas prices have been attributed to a global economic slowdown and the related reduction in demand. Rockland may see a reduction in revenue as prices plummet given it never renewed the temporary $2 dollar gasoline sales tax cap.
