Southland gas prices dropped slightly for the second consecutive week, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California’s Weekend Gas Watch.
The average price of self-serve regular gasoline in the Los Angeles-Long Beach area is $3.028 per gallon, which is 1.4 cents less than last week, 10 cents more than last month, and 95 cents higher than last year. In San Diego, the price is $3.024, which is 2.5 cents less than last week’s price, 8.9 cents above last month, and 93 cents higher than last year. On the Central Coast, the average price is $3.076, down 2.2 cents from last week, up 8.6 cents from a month ago, and 92 cents above last year. In the Inland Empire, the average per gallon price is $3.014, which is 1.5 cents less than last week, 8.6 cents more than last month, and 94 cents more than last year.
“We’re seeing a price drop that we typically see in winter months because of lower demand,” said Auto Club spokesperson Jeffrey Spring. “Oil prices have stabilized below $80 per barrel in the past few days and inventories are still strong, so retail prices are beginning to reflect these fundamentals.”
