Riverside County Gas Prices Drop For 10th Straight Day

RIVERSIDE (CNS) - The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular
gasoline in Riverside County dropped for the 10th consecutive day today,
falling 2.2 cents to $5.924.
  

The average price has dropped 13.9 cents over the past 10 days,
including 1.9 cents Friday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price
Information Service. It is 9.4 cents less than one week ago and 1.4 cents less
than one month ago, but $1.304 more than one year ago.
  

The average price has increased $1.373 since the joint U.S./Israel
attack on Iran began Feb. 28, moving within 44.9 cents of the record $6.373 set
on Oct. 5, 2022.
  

``With oil prices dipping below $100 a barrel, we are seeing gas
prices drop throughout California and nationwide,'' Kandace Redd, the
Automobile Club of Southern California's senior public affairs specialist, said
in a statement released Thursday. ``It's hard to predict if that trend will
continue, but if it does, Southern California drivers could see average gas
prices drop below $6 a gallon soon.''
  

The national average price dropped for the ninth consecutive day,
decreasing 3.5 cents to $4.356. It has dropped 20.8 cents over the past nine
days, including 3.5 cents Friday.
  

The national average price is 17.3 cents less than one week ago, but
5.6 cents more than one month ago and $1.194 more than one year ago. It has
risen $1.374 since the attack on Iran, moving within 66 cents of the record
$5.016 set on June 14, 2022.
