Poo Yie! Gas selling for 10 cents per gallon!

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - Two competing grocery stores have been creating traffic jams with an old fashioned gas war - and old fashioned prices, as low as a dime a gallon.

Kroger, the nation's largest grocery chain, opened a new store Thursday about a quarter mile from a Meijer's store. Both stores, as part of a growing trend toward one-stop shopping, have gas pumps outside.

The price war began heating up within a few hours of the Kroger store's opening. As soon as one station dropped its price, the other countered with a lower price.

By 3 p.m., the price was 42 cents a gallon. By evening, gas was going for 10 cents a gallon.
