Here are the top three stories in Smyrna-Vinings today:

1. Georgia's average gas price has fallen by seven cents per gallon since last week. The state's average price is now $3.04 per gallon. Despite the statewide decrease, Cobb County's average price is still six cents above the state average. The national gas price has been trending down due to falling oil prices. (Cobb County Courier)
