VIDEO: Gas under three dollars in Virginia

(NBC) - A gas station in Altavista, Virginia has lowered prices to under three dollars a gallon and now another station is matching those prices.

A win-win for the costumer. 

Kortney Lockey reports.

Don't you miss the days when you didn't dread filling your gas tank?

But two gas stations in Virginia are taking a stand.

Kortney Lockey shows how the friendly war on low gas prices is drawing people in from all over the region.

Gas in Altavista is under three dollars

It's drawing lines of people from all over.

We talked to people Friday coming in from Lynchburg, Danville and even Bedford, like Jimmy Gregg.

"I had to pick up a few things down here in Altavista. I figured I'd just stop in and get gas."

At one point, he was spending 100 dollars a week on gas, if not more.

Filling up at the GB gas station on Main Street cut that in half.

It's 2.93 a gallon if you pay with cash and 2.99 if you pay at the pump.

GB even had to close all but three pumps.

Not because they ran out of gas, but because they've been overwhelmed with folks stopping by.

GB says they want to help the community during tough times and hope others will follow their lead and they are.

Just up the street, the Exxon gas station has also dropped their prices to 2.99.

Their pumps were closed for service Friday morning, but will be back on shortly and the war on low gas prices will continue.
