GUILFOYLE Staff writer A decrease in gasoline prices l -11 1 ? nas auowcu some uat siuacnts to save money, but has not affected service station owners much. Doug Miller, a personnel management and marketing junior, said the decrease has been helnful "I was surprised by it, and it helps a lot," he said. Miller said he was able to do more with the savings from the reduced prices. "When I was at home over the break, I noticed it cost $6 to fill mv lanl nc CAmnornH tr> oV??-?n? ? / vm?.?v Ma wuipui vvi iv/ auuui $10 before. It seemed like it went down 5, 10 cents a day until it dropped down to 72 cents in some parts of South Carolina," he said. Another USC student with a car said he did not notice the drop in gas prices. "To tell the truth, I need the gas, so I just pay for it and don't pay much attention to the price," said John Brigman, an accoun ting junior. Isaac Hcyward, owner of a Chevron station on North Main Street, said while his prices have dropped drastically, his business has not picked up as expected. "Our business is still the same. The economy hasn't changed much, and people still don't have money," he said. "Our prices have dropped anywhere from 30 to 50 cents depending on the type," chef / MtaMHBaaaa Got the Dorm Food Bl One call to Domino's f will save you!
