Roland Paquette, Driver, said, "It's a whole lot cheaper, 50-cents a gallon cheaper, at least."
The station was selling gas at 2-dollars and 85-cents a gallon, well below the national average.
Industry analysts say the lower prices could eventually create a silver lining throughout the rest of the economy.
Andy Lipow, Lipow Oil Associates, said, "The cost of delivering goods such as food to the supermarket and items to the mall is going down, so the consumers should see lower prices there as well."
