SEFFNER - Motorists waited for as much as half an hour Saturday at the Flying J Travel Plaza in order to get a cheap fill-up at the pump.

"At $2.95, that's like the best thing ever," said Doris Tirado. "You can't get it any cheaper anywhere else, and if it's at $2.95, I'm going to fill it up to the max."

The station, 11555 E. Sligh Ave., near Interstate 4 and State Road 579, is offering unleaded for $2.95, unleaded plus for $3.05, premium unleaded for $3.15 and diesel for $3.66.

Gas prices have been dropping, but $2.95 is still cheaper than most stations.

Frank Grever said he saved $26 filling up his truck Saturday.

"Every penny helps," Grever said.
