County gas prices drop 50 days in a row
The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Riverside County dropped today for the 50th consecutive day, decreasing 1.3 cents to $3.306, its lowest amount since Jan. 28.
The average price has dropped 49.5 cents over the past 50 days, including 1.7 cents on Wednesday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
