The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County dropped a half-cent Saturday to $4.554, its first decrease since Dec. 22.
"Planned and unplanned refinery issues as well as a local pipeline issue combined to push local gas prices higher, but this week Los Angeles wholesale prices have backed down as the Kinder Morgan pipeline issue appears to be resolved," said Doug Shupe, the Automobile Club of Southern California's corporate communications manager.
"Bad weather throughout the U.S. and in California is likely to push down fuel demand. Oil prices have also dropped in response to lower domestic demand and world economic concerns." The national average price also decreased a half-cent to $3.285. It is 9 cents more than one week ago, but 7 cents less than one month ago and 1.8 cents lower than one year ago. The national average price is $1.731 lower than the record $5.016 set June 14.
