Gas prices are plummeting across the country, including in California, where the average fuel price was $5.397 Wednesday, according to the American Automobile Association.

That price represents a nearly 17 cent drop from a week and a 70-cent drop from a month ago, with prices expected to fall even further, according to the AAA.

In Sacramento, fuel prices have also been taking a nose dive since around mid June, when they hit a record high. The capital region recorded an average of $5.25 Wednesday.

With the national average for gas now hovering around the $4 threshold, some stations in Sacramento are selling gas for under $5. The Sacramento Bee rounded up the cheapest places to get gas in the area, according to Gas Buddy as of 8 a.m. Wednesday.
