Kentucky gas prices slightly lower last week

For the first time in several weeks, the average price for a gallon of gasoline went down about a penny, according to AAA. In the western half of Kentucky, the average price for gas dropped to just over $2.92. 

In Paducah, the price is about a nickel below the average at just over $2.87.

The highest gas in the region is in Louisville at $3.06 a gallon, and the lowest is in Elizabethtown at $2.81. 

Even with the penny drop, gasoline in Kentucky is still over seventy cents more than one year ago.

Kentucky remains below the national average of $3.33 a gallon.
