Californians driving to Mexico to fill up their gas tanks
It may not be worth it, if you live in Los Angeles. But, if you travel regularly across the Mexican border, it may be worthwhile to fill up your tank at a Mexican gas station, at least that’s what we were hearing in Tijuana.
LOS ANGELES - The streak of decreases to the average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County was extended Saturday to 19 days, but barely, with a decrease of two-tenths of a cent to $5.807.
The average price has dropped 26.3 cents over the past 19 days, including nine-tenths of a cent Friday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service. The average price rose $1.283 to a record $6.07 during a 32-day streak of increases that ended March 27.
The average price is 6.6 cents less than one week ago and 6.9 cents lower than one month ago but $1.808 higher than one year ago.
