The Southern California March average price for regular unleaded self-serve gasoline is $4.184, 26.7 cents higher than the March average of $3.917, and $1.07 higher than last year’s April Fuel Gauge price of $3.117.
The statewide average price of $4.17 is 26.2 cents higher than the March average of $3.908 and $1.06 higher than last year’s April Fuel Gauge statewide price average of $3.114. The lowest-priced gas among surveyed Southern California cities can be found in Glendora and Hemet at $4.118, and the surveyed Southland city with the highest gas price average is Laguna Beach with an average price of $4.305.
Nationally, the April average price of $3.791 is 28.6 cents higher than the March average of $3.517. Hawaii now has the highest average price among U.S. states at $4.438. Wyoming has the lowest state average price at $3.512.
“Crude oil prices have tumbled in the last couple of days as the Goldman Sachs brokerage firm came out with a recommendation to sell crude oil holdings, yet they remain above $100 a barrel,” said Auto Club spokesperson Jeffrey Spring. “The good news is that investors may finally be starting to pay attention to the decline in domestic gasoline demand that has been caused by skyrocketing prices at the pump. The Oil Price Information Service reported that in March, 70 percent of surveyed service stations saw decreases in the amount of gasoline they sold.”
