L.A. Gas Prices Drop Two Cents This Week

The Automobile Club of Southern California reports this morning that gasoline prices in the Southland dropped slightly this week after increasing for 14 consecutive weeks.

The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular unleaded now stands at $3.46 in Los Angeles County. That’s two cents less than last week but 15 cents more than last month. Overall, it's six cents more than at this time last year.

In Orange County the average price of regular unleaded now stands at $3.45 cents a gallon, which is two-and-a- half cents more than last week.

The Auto Club says it’s too early to say if this could be the start of a downward trend in prices.
