Less Than $4 for Gas?

Gas prices are slowly inching downward with most Southern California stations posting gas price averages below $4, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California’s Weekend Gas Watch.

The average price of self-serve regular gasoline in the Los Angeles-Long Beach area is $3.982 per gallon, which is 6.3 cents lower than last week, 30 cents lower than last month, and 91 cents higher than last year.

“As prices are dropping, we are seeing some wider gaps between the cheapest and most expensive gas stations, so consumers should continue to aggressively price shop using tools like AAA.com/triptik or the Triptik iPhone/Android app,” said Auto Club spokesperson Jeffrey Spring. “Drivers in the Coachella Valley area can find prices in the $3.60 to $3.70 range, and there are a few stations in the greater LA and San Diego regions that have prices under $3.80 a gallon.”

The stations currently selling the cheapest gas in the Palos Verdes area are listed below. Local prices are according to GasBuddy.com and reflect prices reported within the last 24 hours.
