(FOX 9) - Gas prices in Minnesota are dropping, with some gas stations selling fuel for under $4 a gallon.

This comes as the national average for a gallon of regular unleaded fuel has fallen for the third straight week after hitting an all-time high of $5.016 on June 14, according to AAA.

The national average on Friday was $4.721 a gallon, which is 10 cents cheaper than a week ago and more than 20 cents cheaper than a month ago, AAA shows. However, it's still more than $1 more than the average gas price a year ago, when the national average for a gallon of regular fuel was $3.14.

And this week, more than 15 states had at least one station selling gas for $3.99 a gallon or less, including Minnesota.
