Gas prices in San Luis Obispo County have jumped during the past week as the national average has started to inch back up. The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in SLO County increased from $5.89 to $5.95, according to figures from AAA.
“Although lower gas demand would typically push pump prices lower, the fluctuating oil price and tight gasoline supply have pushed pump prices higher,” according to AAA. “Pump prices will likely face upward pressure as oil prices remain above $100 per barrel.”
At an average price of $5.95 a gallon, SLO County has the third highest price for gas in the state. Listing the highest average price, Mono County’s price for a gallon of regular gasoline this week is $6.58.
The national average price for a gallon of gas increased six cents during the past week to $4.18.
