Some gas prices inching down

ASHEVILLE (AP) — Gasoline prices have inched below three dollars a gallon in some areas after shooting up quickly two weeks ago.

The average price across the state for unleaded regular was three-dollars-seven-cents. AAA Carolinas Motor Club says the national average is $3.16.

In the spring, gasoline sold for well below three dollars a gallon.

The motor club says some relief is on the horizon and that gas prices are expected to drop slightly through July Fourth, unless hurricanes disrupt supplies.
