Gas prices are dropping which is Good News if you are traveling across Minnesota, Iowa, and South Dakota.

According to AAA, the national average price for a gallon of gas was around $3.44 a gallon.

That is down about 9 cents a gallon from a week ago and is down 19 cents from a month ago and over 14 cents less than this time last year.

However, you can find gas for much less than that in Minnesota, Iowa, and South Dakota.
