Looking For the Cheapest Gas in South Pas?
With gas prices rising, it's time to keep your head on a swivel and perhaps seek out more wallet friendly options.
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 South Pasadena is the $3.93 at the station at 736 Mission St., according to gasbuddy.com, which offers the latest, lowest prices in Los Angeles according to the zip code you plug in. Keep in mind that Arco will tack on a few cents if you use a debit or credit card.
