>> there's so much refibbed product that it is -- refined product that it is being offered at these ridiculously low prices. >> reporter: it costs an average of $2.50 a gallon in reno according to aaa. down eight cents from last week. and this is basically because of the oil price of crude oil continuing to drop. >> reporter: so how low could gas get in washoe county. peter krueger with the convenience store association expects it to drop at least another dime within the next 10 days. >> yes, my guys are telling me and public information that we see out there that we could expect 10 to 12-cents, probably bottoming out. >> reporter: krueger also says it is hard to predict how long it will stay in that range, but he has an idea. >> unless there is some like major market influence and -- that supply dried up or something like that or there was some international

talking, you know, early spring, which, to me, means march. we could see these prices go for another, say, 60 days is what i'm being told. >> for example, according to gas buddy, the cheapest gas in reno is $2.29 per gallon at cosco as of tuesday. so, according to krueger, within a week and a half, gas at cosco could go down to $2.17 a gallon. and stay in that range until march. >> and we can expect to see the $2.15 to $2.20 a gallon price until there's a change in the price of a barrel of oil. >> reporter: gas prices vary in every county and the story was based off of reno prices. so if you're trying to figure out how much you could soon be paying for a gal. of gas, just sub tract about 12- cents from -- subtract about 1 cents from what you say new and you can expect it to last for about two months. here is a quick list of some of

cosco in reno is at $2.29. gas and save in carson city is at $1.79. and smith in gardnerville is at $2.06. back to you, shelby. >> thank you. carson city court officials want the warn the public about yet another phone scam. the caller claims to be from the clerk's office and tells the victim that they owe $1,000 for failure to appear for jury duty. the scammer says to call the number there on the bottom of your screen to pay. when you call it, the recording states that you have reached a services division. carson city sheriff's office, however, the officials say do not provide payment or any personal information if you receive a call like this. if you have a question about jury service, call the first judicial district court. and still ahead on news 4 nightly tonight, it is a busy stretch of road and it was a treacherous one with our recent storm, but did ndot do enough

with our stormy winter weather we have been having lately. a question saying after the past few storms, i-80 between fernly and reno has been an icy disaster, she says. she says she has heard that ndot has not been sanding the interstate. she wants to know if that is true. if it is, she is concerned. here is a look at what it looked like on i-80. this is actually back after a storm in november. we checked over at ndot about this and she says they have an 11-person crew responsible for maintaining i-80 from the nevada-california state line on out to usa parkway. they also have a nine-person crew responsible to maintaining the parkway east to the u.s. 95 junction. then when storms hit, the crews break into two separate 1-hour shifts to cover snow removal 24 hours a day. here are some more numbers just to illustrate this if you want to digest these numbers. between december 1 and now, the two maintenance crews have

removing snow and ice on the interstate, and they have spread 41,500 gallons of that salt water mix prior to storms to help prevent snow and ice from building up, along with 2,193 cubic yards of salt and sand for traction so a lot of numbers there, but it does give you some idea of how they approach this. now, there are issues with traction or eyey spots. it could be because some areas are shaded and remain slick, even when they're treated out there, but ndot says rest assured, they put a lot of resources into making sure the roads are safe and they're not cutting back on any resource this is winter. thank you for sending in that question. remember, if you have questions you'd like to ask, send me an e- mail at j.hart@mynews4.com. i'll do my best to track down whatever answers you are looking for. shelby? >> thank you so much, joe. the number one fastest weight loss program is right in
