June 9, 2024

Lower demand at the pumps and an increase supply have resulted in another large decline in gas prices. Last week, the average price for a gallon of gas in San Luis Obispo County dropped six cents to $5.20, according to figures from AAA.

“This drop in pump prices appears to have some sticking power for now,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. “More states should see their averages dip below $3 a gallon in the coming weeks.”

In California, the average price for a gallon of gas fell 12 cents to $4.93 during the past week. Nationally, gas prices dropped nine cents to $3.44 a gallon.

SLO County currently has the 13th 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 $6.23. Yuba County boasts the lowest average cost, at $4.53 a gallon.
