US Gas Prices Dip 2 Cents Per Gallon, But You Wouldn’t Know In San Diego

LOS ANGELES — The average price of regular gasoline in the U.S. has fallen 2 cents a gallon during the past two weeks.

Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday a gallon of regular now costs $3.29 on average. Gas is 30 cents a gallon cheaper than this time last year

Lundberg says the price has dropped more than a nickel per gallon in the past month, but it's unlikely to fall further unless crude oil prices plunge.
