Riverside County Gas Price Unchanged For Second Consecutive Day

RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA—The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Riverside County was unchanged Tuesday for the second consecutive day, remaining at $3.176.

The average price is 1.1 cents more than one week ago and 4.4 cents higher than one month ago but 37.6 cents less than one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.

It has dropped 33.2 cents since the start of the year.

Although demand "has been slowly increasing, as many can tell by freeway traffic in August becoming more congested, I'd say 'stable' continues to describe gas prices in Southern California," Jeffrey Spring, the Automobile Club of Southern California's corporate communications manager, told City News Service.
