California motorists are paying 2 cents more for a gallon of regular gas than they did one month ago, as the statewide average climbed to $4.702 in response to rising crude prices.
Bay Area drivers are paying even more. Only Solano County had an average price lower than the state average — and only by 1 cent — according to Monday’s figures from the Automobile Association of America website at gasprices.aaa.com.
The state average — the highest in the nation — was $4.680 one week ago, $4.652 one month ago and $3.475 one year ago. The nation’s average is $3.488, up nearly 5 cents from a week ago and 18 cents higher than a month ago. The national average one year ago was $2.505.
Drivers filling their cars in San Francisco are paying the most of any Bay Area county at $4.892. In only three California counties — Mono, Humboldt and Del Norte — do drivers pay higher prices.
Average prices for regular gasoline per gallon in counties in the region: $4.892, San Francisco, $4.885, Napa; $4.862, Sonoma; $4.832, San Mateo; $4.809, Marin; $4.794, San Benito; $4.781, Monterey; $4.759, Santa Clara; $4.757, Alameda; $4.748, Contra Costa; $4.718, Santa Cruz; $4.693, Solano.
