Gas prices in Maine, as well as across the country, have been on a steady decline for several months. And now, there are some gas stations selling it for under two dollars a gallon.

According to Channel 8 WMTW, the national average price of gas is down to $2.34 a gallon. Maine's average is a penny less.

The last time gas prices were this low was over a year ago, just before they peaked in late April. The current dip is mostly being caused by a price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Analysts predict that the average will be below $2 a gallon by the end of this month.

But here in Maine, there are at least a couple of gas stations already there. GasBuddy reports that as of today, Lakeside Fuels and Town Line Deli, both in Waterboro, are at $1.99. There are at least eight more stations under $2.10.

In Portland, the cheapest gas is at the BJ's on Warren Avenue, at $2.25 per gallon.
