Gas Prices Edge Up At The Pumps

RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA – A 55-day streak of decreases in the average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Riverside County ended Wednesday with the largest increase since Nov. 4, 2017, rising 3.3 cents to $3.319.

The average price dropped 51.5 cents during the streak to its lowest amount since Jan. 27, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.

The average price is unchanged from one week ago, 26.6 cents less than one month ago and 27.1 cents more than one year ago. The average price has risen 24.6 cents since the start of the year.
