Loma Linda Is Paying More at the Pumps

For the second week in a row, gas prices crept up across the region, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California’s Weekend Gas Watch.

“Oil prices continue to hover near $100 a barrel and that is impacting gas prices locally,” said Auto Club spokesperson Jeffrey Spring.  “Even though prices are now about 50 cents lower than their peak 2011 levels reached in May, this is still the second most expensive summer we’ve ever experienced for gasoline prices behind 2008.”

In the Inland Empire, the average price per gallon of regular is $3.794, 2.4 cents higher than last week, 9 cents lower than last month, and 69 cents more than last year.

The average price of self-serve regular gasoline in the Los Angeles-Long Beach area is $3.82 per gallon, 1.8 cents higher than last week, 9 cents lower than last month, and 69 cents higher than last year.

In San Diego, the average price is $3.818, up by 3 cents from last week, 6 cents below last month, and 69 cents higher than last year.

On the Central Coast, the average price is $3.870, up 3.1 cents from last week, 7 cents lower than a month ago, and 68 cents above last year.
