Where Is The Cheapest Gas In Claremont?

Gas prices drop in Los Angeles County during July, AAA said. So, where did you find the cheapest gas? Here's what we found.

CLAREMONT, CA — The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County dropped one-tenth of a cent Saturday to $2.911, its lowest amount since February.

On Monday, gas prices were reported as low as $2.57 at the Foothill Boulevard ARCO station, perfect for filling up before your summer road trip.

“As we hit the middle of the summer season, consumers can still fill up for $2.25/gallon or less at 62% of gas stations in the country,” said Jeanette Casselano, AAA spokesperson. “If, however, demand keeps pace and stocks continue to draw down at sizable levels, gas prices are likely to increase this month into next. So now is a good time to take a road trip.”
