Gas Prices Drop To Lowest Amount Since February 2019 In San Diego

SAN DIEGO, CA — The average price of a gallon of self-serve gasoline in San Diego County dropped Monday to its lowest amount since Feb. 1, 2019, decreasing seven-tenths of a cent to $3.24.

The average price has dropped 18 consecutive days, decreasing 29.3 cents, including 1.8 cents on Sunday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.

The average price is 15.9 cents less than one week ago, 31.3 cents lower than one month ago and 22.2 cents below what it was one year ago. It has fallen 36.2 cents since the start of the year.

The dropping price is the result of the significant decrease of commercial and general motorist traffic because of the coronavirus outbreak and increased oil production by Russia and Saudi Arabia boosting the supply and lowering the price, according to Jeffrey Spring, the Automobile Club of Southern California's corporate communications manager.
