The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Riverside County declined a half-cent Saturday to $3.119, its lowest amount since July 27.
The average price is seven-tenths of a cent less than one week ago, 2.6 cents less than one month ago and 88.5 cents cheaper than one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
“Southern California wholesale prices have dipped by more than 30 cents since Sept. 1, and with winter blend gasoline on the way, there will be a lot of downward pressure on gas prices,” said Jeffrey Spring, the Automobile Club of Southern California’s corporate communications manager.
Stations can begin selling winter blend gasoline, which is cheaper to produce, on Sunday.
