HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Gas prices are getting slightly lower ahead of Thanksgiving travel.

"We've fallen a couple of cents in the past week," said Shawn Steward with AAA Kansas. "The current average for a gallon of gasoline is $3.08."

Reno County is below average.

"Reno County, today, is at $3.05 a gallon, three cents less than the statewide average," Steward said. "Kansas, at $3.08, comes in at 5th cheapest in the U.S."

Oil futures also were falling fast on Friday, so if that trend continues, there could be a price drop between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
