Mike Johnson Jr. fills up his truck at All Stop in West Union as he prepares for a 12-hour drive to the lower portion of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. With gas prices at a six-year low, Johnson could be looking at saving quite a bit of money this holiday season by driving, rather than flying, to Michigan.

Gas prices are at a six-year low, which has many northeast Iowa families rethinking their travel plans for this holiday season.
The last time gas prices stayed consistently below $2 a gallon was in 2009. Locally the prices are currently $1.92/gallon at Casey’s General Store, $1.92/gallon at All Stop and $1.92/gallon at BP Express, as of Monday morning (Dec. 21).
