Despite the introduction of summer blends, gas prices continue falling in San Luis Obispo County and in California. The average cost for a gallon of gas in SLO County fell seven cents last week to $4.87, according to figures from AAA.

Summer-blend gas, which is more expensive to produce, is less likely to evaporate amid warmer temperatures. The changeover is a seasonal strategy to reduce emissions.

In California, the average price for a gallon of gas fell one cent last week to $4.64. Nationally, gas prices rose five cents to $3.12 a gallon amid the change to summer-blend gas.

SLO County currently has the 9th 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 $5.83. Kings County boasts the lowest average cost at $4.42 a gallon.

Well well. Look at that. Every time we drill for more oil, the price goes down. It’s almost as if a US president’s agenda affects prices…

Nobody has drilled for more oil. Trump has nothing to do with the lowering of prices as the OPEC nations increased production. More supply then demand has caused the prices to lower.

Fuel prices are largely a result of speculation in the energy markets and those prices can turn on a dime. Remember the huge spike when Biden canned the Keystone XL pipeline? The pipeline hadn’t moved one ounce of fuel yet, but its cancellation sent energy prices soaring because it’s anticipated contribution to supply was cut short. Trump is already lowering energy prices in the market just by having a pro domestic energy production policy.
