HUNTINGTON -- Local gasoline prices have fallen a nickel in the past week, but the average price remains 30 cents more expensive than a month ago, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report.
The average pump price in Huntington's metro area stood at $2.69 per gallon as of Friday morning.
The state average was $2.76. That ranked ninth most expensive in the nation when compared to the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Speedway gasoline stations reported actual pump prices between $2.65 and $2.69 in Huntington. Similar gasoline prices were reported in Putnam and Wayne counties, along with Lawrence County, Ohio.
AAA said economic factors have translated to higher retail gasoline prices for motorists.
