A tightening supply, combined with a strong gasoline demand, is contributing to pump prices moving higher in California, according to AAA, which tracks the information as a consumer service.
While state retail fuel prices are moving up and register as the highest in the nation, AAA said they are stabilizing. Tuesday’s gas prices on the AAA Fuel Gauge Report shows the state pump price of unleaded regular is $2.86 per gallon, which is a modest increase of 6 cents higher than a month ago, according to AAA.
The least expensive fuel can be found in Marysville, where the average price for a gallon of regular is $2.57. The highest price is in San Francisco where the average price is $3.02 a gallon, up 18 cents from last month’s AAA gas survey. A year ago, the California average price for a gallon of unleaded gasoline reached $3.54, 68 cents more expensive than today’s average. In San Mateo, the average price for a gallon of gas was $2.95, up 7 cents.
