The average price is 6.2 cents less than one week ago, 10 cents lower than one month ago and 19.9 cents below what it was one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.

The average price had risen 32 times in 33 days before the decreases began.

The Orange County average price fell today for the 18th consecutive day, decreasing seven-tenths of a cent to $4.163. It is 7.1 cents less than one week ago, 11.4 cents lower than one month ago and 20.7 cents below what it was one year ago.

Prices at the pump have been dropping because most California refineries have concluded scheduled maintenance without experiencing any major incidents before the switch to summer-blend production, leaving adequate gasoline supplies, said Jeffrey Spring of the Automobile Club of Southern California.
