Gas Prices Fall for 7th Straight Day in Los Angeles County
Where can you find the lowest priced gas in town? Patch has the answer.
The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County fell for the seventh consecutive day on Wednesday, dropping 1 cent to $4.346, one day after decreasing seven-tenths of a cent, according to City News Service.
The prices in Altadena are a little higher than that: current gas prices Thursday are listed at $4.39 at the Mobil at Woodbury and Fair Oaks and $4.46 at the Chevron at Lake and Altadena. You may check Altadena Patch's Commute tab for live information on gas prices and traffic locally.
Overall, the average price in Los Angeles County is 6.1 cents less than one week ago, but 13.9 cents more than one month ago and 21.2 cents higher than one year ago
The falling pump prices follow a nearly 30 cents per gallon decrease in the wholesale price of California-blend gasoline on the New York Mercantile Exchange early last week, CNS reported.
Analysts said the completion of maintenance at refineries in Southern California and Northern California helped end record-low inventories, ushering in lower wholesale prices.
