County gas prices drop 23 consecutive days
The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Riverside County dropped today for the 23rd consecutive day, decreasing 1.1 cents to $3.61, its lowest amount since Sept. 26.
The average price has dropped 19.1 cents over the past 23 days, including 1 cent on Thursday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
The average price is 7.2 cents less than one week ago and 19.1 cents lower than one month ago, but 39.9 cents more than one year ago. It has risen 53.7 cents since the start of the year.
“The price drops are happening nationwide as well as in California because oil prices have dropped dramatically,” said Jeffrey Spring, the Automobile Club of Southern California’s corporate communications manager. “There is a wide range of prices right now locally because some gas station chains are lowering prices more aggressively than others.”
