Gas Prices Down Slightly As Americans Head To The Polls

Gas prices are slightly lower across the nation as Americans head to the polls. Triple-A puts the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded at four dollars and 14 cents. That's down a couple cents from yesterday and 12 cents cheaper than a week ago. Zoom out to one year ago, however, and average prices at the pump were hovering just north of three bucks a gallon. Four states in the nation are seeing prices above five dollars: California, where it's more expensive than anywhere else in the nation, Washington state, Nevada and Hawaii. Drivers in North Carolina are paying the least at three-38 a gallon.
