FARMINGTON — Drivers in the Farmington area, long accustomed to paying the highest gasoline prices in the state, finally found themselves at the other end of the equation last week.According to the AAA New Mexico Weekend Gas Watch released on Thursday, Jan. 19, the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded fuel in Farmington was $3.28 a gallon — the second-lowest price in the state among New Mexico's four metropolitan areas and less than the statewide and national averages.But those relatively low prices were short lived.
