Streak of rising gas prices ends at nine days

A nine-day streak of increases to the average price of
a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in the Inland Empire ended today with
a decrease of one-tenth of a cent to $2.64.
The average price in Riverside and San Bernardino counties rose 5.4
cents during the streak, including three-tenths of a cent on both Wednesday and
Thursday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
The increases began one day after the end of a 35-day streak of
decreases totaling 30.1 cents, which dropped the average price to its lowest
amount since March 11.
The average price is 3.2 cents more than one week ago but 15.2 cents
less than one month ago and 93.7 cents lower than one year ago.
