Drivers in Northern California will have something to be extra cheerful about this holiday season. The average price of gasoline in the Golden State has continued to drop for a sixth straight week. The average price for self-serve regular gasoline in California is $4.31, which is three cents lower than a week ago and 28 cents lower than a year ago today. But that trend may not stick around for long, as fuel prices are starting to rise nationally. The average national price per gallon is $3.04, two cents higher than a week ago.
“Lower gas prices are great news for those planning year-end holiday travel,” said AAA Northern California spokesperson Doug Johnson. “With nearly 90 percent of travelers driving to their holiday destinations, that’s a lot of fuel–and a lot of savings.”
Here’s what the average price of self-serve regular gasoline is in each city:
- San Francisco: $4.46
- Oakland: $4.30
- San Jose: $4.26
- Sacramento: $4.21
- Fresno: $4.21
- Stockton: $4.09
Meanwhile, today’s national average per kilowatt hour of electricity at a public EV charging station remained at 34 cents. In California, that average cost is 37 cents.
Drivers can find current gas and electric charging prices along their route using AAA Mobile.
National average is $3.04 per gallon and we’re supposed to be happy California’s average PPG is $4.31 ?
That’s a “low” price?
It’s called Purchasing Parity Power – you should look into relocating to Des Moines
You can get $3.49/gallon on Clayton Road. Be more upset that the 7-11 on Clayton/YVR charges $1 more per gallon than the station across the street.
Low my a$$
Still almost $4 at the cheap places and if you want your car to start needing alot of work,go ahead and buy crappy gas,
