The average price for a gallon of gas in the United States is declining while electric prices remain steady.The average price for a gallon of gas in San Luis Obispo County dropped five cents last week to $4,82, according to figures from AAA.

In California, the average price for a gallon of gas fell three cents to $4.60 during the past week. Nationally, gas prices dropped four cents to $3.50 a gallon.

“With Tropical Storm Debby drifting up the I-95 corridor to visit the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, the threat to Gulf Coast oil production and refining is over,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. “But tensions in the Middle East and some overseas economic uncertainty may mitigate any drop in oil prices.”
