Gas Prices Continue to Fall
The price of a gallon of gas has been falling over the last three weeks... which is a relief compared to the sky-high prices Sierra Madreans were paying at the end of February and March.
The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline fell in Los Angeles County today for the 16th consecutive day, dropping seven-tenths of a cent to $4.276.
Sierra Madre Gas at 50 S Baldwin Ave. and Sierra Madre's station at 4 S Baldwin Ave. are selling a gallon of 87-octane for $4.27.
The average price is 4.8 cents less than a week ago and 11.7 cents lower
than one month ago. However, it's still higher than what customers were paying last year.
