The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County resumed dropping Tuesday, falling 2.7 cents to $6.328, one day after a 10-day streak decreases totaling 9.3 cents ended when it rose four-tenths of a cent.<\/p>\n
The average price is 8.4 cents less than one week ago, but 28.5 cents more than one month ago and $1.607 higher than one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.<\/p>\n
The average price has increased $1.629 since the start of the joint U.S.\/Israel war on Iran on Feb. 28, which sent oil prices higher and drastically accelerated increases at the gas pump.<\/p>\n
The Orange County average price dropped for the 12th consecutive day, falling 1.5 cents to $6.265. It has dropped 14 cents over the past 12 days, including three-tenths of a cent Monday. The streak of decreases follows a run of 42 increases in 44 days totaling 83.7 cents that pushed it within 5.3 cents of its record high.<\/p>\n
The Orange County average price is 8.9 cents less than one week ago, but 25.7 cents more than one month ago and $1.579 higher than one year ago. It has increased $1.629 since the start of the war on Iran.<\/p>\n
Its record average price is $6.458 set Oct. 5, 2022.<\/p>\n
The dropping prices are the result of Gov. Gavin Newsom\u2019s announcement Sept. 28 that cheaper winter-blend gasoline would be allowed to be sold immediately instead of the customary Nov. 1 date.<\/p>\n
The national average price dropped for the 16th time in 18 days, falling 1.4 cents to $4.341. It has decreased 15 cents over the past 18 days, including three-tenths of a cent Monday.<\/p>\n
The national average price dropped 10 consecutive days, rose three-tenths of a cent last Tuesday, fell Wednesday and Thursday, increased 1 cent Friday and declined each of the past four days. It is 2.7 cents less than one week ago, but 2.8 cents more than one month ago and $1.259 more than one year ago.<\/p>\n
The national average price has increased $1.359 since the attack on Iran.<\/p>\n
\u201cMore states saw average gasoline prices decline than rise over the last week,\u201d Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, which provides real-time gas price information from more than 150,000 stations, said in a statement Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cHurricane Isaias has passed, but we are awaiting updates on two refineries that were in its path, the outcome of which could impact the supply picture in the days ahead. For now, the trend is cautiously in the right direction for motorists, but between hurricane season and continued geopolitical uncertainty, it is far too early to declare the pressure on fuel prices resolved.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County resumed dropping Tuesday, falling…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":495565,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[11702,163,165,164,4937,166,2300,4938,1929,315],"class_list":["post-495564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-11th","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news","tag-average","tag-county","tag-days","tag-drops","tag-price","tag-time"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495564","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=495564"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495564\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/495565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=495564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=495564"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=495564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
