AAA said Monday that the average price of gas is $2.55 per gallon which is a nickle cheaper than at the beginning of December. In California, the average cost of gas is fell 8-cents to $3.62 per gallon.
The latest Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports show gasoline demand at its lowest rate since mid-February and the highest stock levels since this summer.
“As the weather turns colder, people tend to drive less and we see less gasoline demand,” said Jeanette Casselano, AAA spokesperson. “This is causing gas prices to be less expensive. In the lead up to the holidays we may see a small spike in demand, but not enough to impact gas prices substantially.”
Today’s national average is two cents cheaper than last week, a nickel cheaper than last month, but 18 cents more expensive than this time last year.
According to Gas Buddy, gas at Costco in Antioch was at $3.25 while Arco at Hilcrest and Wildflower is $3.35 per gallon. In Brentwood, gas was $3.31 at Arco at Lone Tree Way and Shady Willow. In Pittsburg, Arco was listed at $3.29 at W Leland Road.
