Cheaper gas drives students to the pump
By Debra West Staff writer
Students with cars may have a little extra spending money these days as local gas prices continue to drop.
Campus/Area
Several gas station managers agree that the low prices are caused by an oversupply of crude oil and the competition between Lawrence gas stations.
Dan Spellman, assistant manager of the Westside 66 and Carwash, 2815 W. Sixth St., said one gallon of regular gas was 89.9 cents at his station. Unleashed is 95.9 cents and diesel is $1.14.9.
The station will continue to lower its prices to remain competitive with the independent gas stations, Spellman said.
He said independent stations bought gas directly from distributors in Kansas City more cheaply than franchises that have to buy it from their company's local distributor.
Spellman said he expected prices to continue to decrease until summer. He said they would probably drop to about 75 cents a gallon for regular gasoline.
Lynn Potter, owner of Potter's Southside 66 Service, 23rd and Louisiana streets, said the price of crude oil was going down because of an oversupply. He said oil exporting
Potter said he expected gas prices to drop about 15 cents more.
countries were lowering their prices to compete in the oil market.
One gallon of regular gas at Potter's full service gas station is $11.9. Unleaded is $1.15.9 and premium is $1.19.9.
Jill Ellison, an employee at the Derby Station at 2330 Iowa St., said prices there were 87.9 cents for regular, 92.9 cents for unleaded plus and 95.9 cents for unleaded.
Sarah Blanz, Denver, Colo., senior bought gas yesterday at the Derby Station.
"It's great. I'm really happy with it," she said.
Ellison said she had heard the district manager say that prices were expected to drop to 70 cents a gallon for regular.
Keith Woodley, 2820 Massachusetts St., Topeka, who was buying gas at Gibson Discount Center-Service Station, said, "It's fantastic for as long as it lasts. I hope it goes lower."
Some managers didn't know whether to expect the low gas prices to last.
Bill Edmonds, manager of Bill's Conoco Service, 1026 W. 23rd St., said prices would rise again as soon as the crude oil supply decreased.
