Average Gas Price at Lowest Level in Months

As of 7:30 a.m. Wednesday the cheapest gas in Imperial Beach or west of Interstate 5 could be found at Circle A Gas at the corner of Ingrid Avenue and Hollister Street for $3.77

American Gas at the corner of 13th Street and Imperial Beach Boulevard came in a close second with a $3.77 gallon of regular with cash and $3.89 with a credit card.

The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County dropped to its lowest amount since May 7 Wednesday, decreasing eight-tenths of a cent to $3.913.

The average price has decreased for 22 consecutive days and is 6 cents less than one week ago, 14 cents less than one month ago and 17.4 cents below what is was one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.

The average price has dropped 16.7 cents over the past 22 days, including six-tenths of a cent on Tuesday.

"The decreasing prices are the result of wholesale prices backing down when supply issues in California did not materialize as feared," Marie Montgomery of the Automobile Club of Southern California told City News Service.
