@wcconews: ⛽Gas prices across the state are dropping and experts say they should continue to fall in the coming weeks. The national average price is currently $4 a gallon, down 16 cents from a week ago, and the first time since early August that the national average broke below $4 a gallon. Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for Gas Buddy, said both gas and diesel prices are trending down primarily because of a seasonal decline in demand.
