Where to Get the Cheapest Gas?

It's an unusual phenomenon for this time of year.

As the thermometer rises, the prices at the gasoline pumps are dropping.

The price of a gallon of unleaded regular has fallen another nickel or so in the past week, marking a full month of declines.

Traditionally, gasoline prices rise after the Memorial Day weekend, but that has not been the case so far this season.

Nationally, the cost of a gallon of unleaded regular has dipped to $3.70, according to a California State Automobile Association web site that tracks gas prices. That's seven cents less than a week ago and 20 cents less than a month ago. It is, however, $1.27 higher than one year ago.

In California, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded is now at $3.94. That's five cents less than last week and 24 cents cheaper than a month ago. It's $1.15 higher than in June, 2010.
