Gas prices holding steady in L.A., Orange counties
There may be little good economic news on the horizon, but at least gas prices are holding steady on average. Here's what CNS says:
The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular unleaded gasoline in Los Angeles County was unchanged today, a day after an increase of seven-tenths of a cent. The average price of $1.787 is 2.1 cents more than last week but 22.4 cents less than a month ago, $1.475 less than at this time last year and $2.839 less than the record high of $4.626 set on June 21, according to figures from the AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. The Orange County average price was also unchanged today, ending a streak of 11 days of increases where the average price rose 6.8 cents.
