80% Of Fall Drivers Can Expect To Save $16 Per Gas Fill-Up: RivCo

RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA — The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Riverside County rose one-tenth of a cent Friday to $3.136, one day after decreasing two-tenths of a cent to its lowest amount since Aug. 3.

The average price is seven-tenths of a cent less than one week ago, 3 cents lower than one month ago and $1.014 cheaper than one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service. It has dropped 37.2 cents since the start of the year.

"Supplies of the 'summer blend' of California gasoline are still plentiful, but prices are still just inching downward," said Jeffrey Spring, the Automobile Club of Southern California's corporate communications manager.

"However, fall gas prices have not been this low since 2017 and the 80 percent of fall travelers who plan to drive to their destinations will save about $16 per fill-up compared to last year at this time."
