The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County dropped 2.5 cents Wednesday to $5.938, its 32nd decrease in the last 34 days.<\/p>\n
The average price is 10.7 cents less than one week ago and 48.2 cents less than one month ago, but $1.155 more than one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service. It has increased $1.244 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 fell 2.6 cents to $5.825, its 33rd decrease in the last 34 days. It is 10.6 cents less than one week ago and 55.1 cents less than one month ago, but $1.078 more than one year ago. The Orange County average price has increased $1.189 since the start of the war on Iran.<\/p>\n
The average price in both counties had come with about 5 cents of their record highs (set Oct. 5, 2022), but started dropping after Gov. Gavin Newsom\u2019s announcement Sept. 28 that cheaper winter-blend gasoline would be sold immediately instead of on the customary Nov. 1 date.<\/p>\n
The national average price dropped for the 11th consecutive day, decreasing 2.6 cents to $4.123. It is 12.4 cents less than one week ago and 24.6 cents less than one month ago, but $1.071 more than one year ago. The national average price has increased $1.141 since the attack on Iran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County dropped 2.5 cents Wednesday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":518891,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164,166,16538,171,234],"class_list":["post-518890","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news","tag-county","tag-fall","tag-orange","tag-prices"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518890","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=518890"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518890\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/518891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=518890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=518890"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=518890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
