“It’s good news that Southern California gas prices are no longer rising or are rising very little, but we are still paying prices that are 50 to 70 cents higher than during the summers of 2006 and 2010, although we are well below the $4.50-a-gallon prices of summer 2008,” said Auto Club spokesperson Jeffrey Spring.
