This is the time of year that usually brings price drops at the gasoline pumps, but, gas prices throughout Southern California hover around the $3-a-gallon mark.
The average price of self-serve regular gasoline in the Los Angeles-Long Beach area is $3.013 per gallon, which is a penny less than last week, a nickel less than last month, and 24 cents higher than last year.
On the Central Coast, the average price is $3.10, down three-tenths of a cent from last week, six cents lower than a month ago, and 27 cents above last year.
In the Inland Empire, the average per gallon price is $2.996, which is eight-tenths of one cent less than last week, five cents less than last month, and 29 cents more than last year.
“For almost half of this year, Southern Californians have been paying gas prices that have stayed within 20 cents of $3 a gallon – either above or below. It seems unlikely that we’ll see a significant price drop outside of that range for the rest of this year," Auto Club spokesperson Jeffrey Spring said in a statement.
