Los Angeles County gas prices are rising, but that doesn't mean you can't find cheaper alternatives in Santa Monica.

The Orange County average price dropped two-tenths of a cent to $2.893 Friday, one day after decreasing one-tenth of a cent. It is two-tenths of a cent more than one week ago but 14.2 cents less than one month ago and 6.4 cents lower than one year ago.

"Two Southern California refineries reported unplanned flaring last week, which can reduce fuel production," said Jeffrey Spring, the Automobile Club of Southern California's corporate communications manager.

"Oil prices have also risen in the last two weeks, so at the moment there is less room for pump prices to decline further, although average prices are still slightly lower than at this time last year."
