Average Imperial Beach Area Gas Price Again Rises Slightly
The average price has risen $1.133 since the start of the year to its highest amount since Oct. 24, 2012.
SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA — The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County rose by three-tenths of a cent Monday for the fourth time in five days.
The average price of $4.359 is eight-tenths of a cent higher than one week ago, 5.7 cents more than one month ago and $1.153 greater than one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
The average price has risen $1.133 since the start of the year to its highest amount since Oct. 24, 2012, because of a sharp increase in the oil price, and higher demand stemming from more people driving as coronavirus-related restrictions were eased, according to Jeffrey Spring, the Automobile Club of Southern California's corporate communications manager.
