Steady crude oil prices and a moderate demand for gasoline in the United States has led to a five cent decline in national gas prices. During the past week, the average price of gas in San Luis Obispo County dropped four cents to $5.64 a gallon, according to figures from AAA.

“Drivers are now benefiting from gas prices that are $1.11 less than their peak in mid-June,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. “But now we need to keep an eye on the weather as hurricane season arrives. These storms can affect prices by disrupting oil production in the Gulf of Mexico and impacting large coastal refineries.”

SLO County currently has the eighth 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 $6.52.

The national average price for a gallon of gas dropped five cents during the past week to $3.85.
