The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County dropped Sunday for the sixth time in the last seven days following a long streak of increases that pushed it to record highs, declining eight-tenths of a cent to $6.422.
The decreases stem from "a plunge of nearly 60 cents on the Los Angeles wholesale gasoline market this past week" caused by "a very volatile week for the U.S. economy and a slight downturn in consumer demand reported by the EIA, which is likely due to record high prices," said Doug Shupe, the Automobile Club of Southern California's corporate communications manager, referring to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
The Orange County price also dropped for the sixth time in seven days, falling seven-tenths of a cent to $6.36. It also set records for 16 consecutive days before dropping on June 13. The Orange County average price is 5 cents less than one week ago, but 28.4 cents more than one month ago and $2.157 higher than one year ago.
