Gasoline prices fall this week after rising slightly the week before in Southern California, which has the highest gasoline prices in the nation, the Automobile Club of Southern California reported Friday.
The average price of a gallon of self-serve unleaded regular now stands at 3.071 dollars in the Los Angeles-Long Beach area -- 3.9 cents less than last week, 9 cents less than last month and 20 cents less than at this time last year, according to the Auto Club 's Weekend Gas Watch survey of gas stations.
Until last week's slight rise, the average price in Los Angeles County had declined for nine straight weeks.
"We are seeing many more Southland gas stations this week with prices below 3 dollars a gallon," said Auto Club spokeswoman Carol Thorp.
"And Californians who are used to paying less for gas at out-of- state vacation destinations will probably be surprised to see very similar or even higher prices in other areas. Most states have average gas prices within 10 cents of 3 dollars a gallon."
The Auto Club provided this breakdown of gasoline prices in selected portions of California and Nevada as of Friday.
