1. Falling gas prices in Hoover are helping some relax amid waves of inflation. People are still hoping that prices continue to fall so that more money can stay in their pockets. Gas prices in Alabama average about $3.54 per gallon, which is 64 cents cheaper than a month ago. According to the report at the link, some stations in Hoover are charging as little as $3.26 per gallon. Experts say prices will continue to fall as the summer travel season comes to an end.
