Use Our Price Finder To Find Cheapest Gas In Imperial Beach: Prices Rise Again

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA - The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County rose today for the 35th time in 36 days, increasing four-tenths of a cent to $2.841.

The average price has risen 50.1 cents over the past 36 days, including a half-cent on Thursday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service. It is 5.1 cents higher than one week ago and 37.4 cents
greater than one month ago.

However, the average price is 37.6 cents less than one year ago because it fell 72.3 cents during a stretch of 49 decreases in 50 days that immediately preceded the run of rising prices.

The average price dropped to its lowest amount since April 7, 2009, before the increases began on Feb. 26. The average price rose 10 consecutive days, was unchanged March 7 and resumed increasing the following day.

"Wholesale Los Angeles fuel prices have relatively stayed stable for nearly two weeks, and in a few local cities we have seen little or no price increases for a day or two,'' said Jeffrey Spring, the Automobile Club of Southern California's corporate communications manager.

"An unexpected incident affecting fuel supply could of course always happen, but for now consumers may see fewer price increases at the pump. And while prices have been climbing, they are still much lower than at this time
last year.''
