Nevertheless, the average price is 6.2 cents higher than one year ago.
The decreasing pump prices are the result "of the rapid drop in wholesale prices" that began late last month when the supply started increasing after maintenance was completed in refineries in Southern and Northern California, according to Jeffrey Spring of the Automobile Club of Southern California.
The cheaper prices have not made their way yet to Venice-Mar Vista, where the lowest price for a gallon of regular was $4.22 at the USA Petroleum at 4395 Glencoe Ave. Check here for more local prices.
