Where is the Cheapest Gas in LCF?
As gas prices push past $4.19 per gallon, you're probably wondering where to find the best deals in town.
Remember when the few pennies difference between Shell and Chevron didn't really matter? The per-gallon price was somewhere in the mid $2-range, and hardly worth your effort to wheel across town and suffer three extra traffic lights?
At $4.19 in some places, and $3.99 in others - it's arguably worth it now. AAA lists the national average gas price at $3.58, and the state average at $4.03.
As of Monday, the cheapest gas in La Cañada is the station at 550 Foothill Blvd. with $3.99 per gallon, according to gasbuddy.com, which offers the latest, lowest prices in Los Angeles according to the zip code you plug in. Keep in mind Arco will tack on a few cents if you use a debit or credit card.
