According to Opinet, a Web site on oil price information run by the Korea National Oil Corporation, the average price of regular gasoline sold at filling stations nationwide fell an average 20 won per liter to one-thousand-355 won in the second week of January, the lowest in 34 months since March 2016.
The price of gasoline has dropped 335 won in the past ten weeks since late October.
The price of diesel for automotive fuel also fell more than 19 won in just one week to one-thousand-253 won per liter, the lowest since August 2017.

I’d be curious to know if any ROKDroppers buy gas off-base. The only time I do is when I’m on a long trip and can’t get to an AAFES gas station.
If it keeps going, it will be lower than the eXchange price for fuel, which sadly seems to be always significantly higher than U.S. prices.
Guitard, i ride motorcycles extensively around the peninsula, and since I can only go about 140 miles on a tank, often have to buy fuel off-post. I wish they had a fuel coupon system like AAFES does in Europe.
