While gas prices are rising nationally, the average price of gas in California and San Luis Obispo County have declined slightly. At $6.54 a gallon, the average price of gas in SLO County is two cents less than last week’s prices.
The average price of gas in California fell three cents during the past week to $6.34 a gallon.
Prices at the pump in California have increased because of ongoing maintenance at roughly six refineries, which has severely limiting the state’s supply, according to AAA. However, “refinery restarts and California officials allowing less expensive winter-blend gasoline to be sold a month ahead of schedule” has resulted in a small drop in price.
SLO County currently has the seventh 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 $7.31.
The national average gas price increased 12 cents to $3.91 a gallon during the past week.
