AAA reported yesterday that gas prices had fallen across West Virginia to an average of $2.681 at the pumps, which is a 3.6 cents drop over a week.

The press release from AAA said gas prices are falling due to a “potent mix of dollar weakness, growing international economic activity and better than expected retail sales data that was helping oil prices move higher on Monday.

The average price of gasoline at this time last year was $2.179 a gallon, the AAA report said.

Gas prices in Mingo County were still hovering around $2.79 a gallon outside of Williamson, where competition with bordering South Williamson, Ky., stations causes gasoline prices to be cheaper.
