Average price for gasoline in West Virginia fall 5 cents this week to $3.51 per gallon

Gasoline prices fell about 5 cents in West Virginia this week.

AAA East Central says the average price for a gallon of regular was $3.51. That's about 8 cents less per gallon compared with the same week a year ago.

Prices range from about $3.36 in Huntington to $3.61 in Morgantown.
