The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los
Angeles County rose Monday for the ninth time in 10 days, increasing a
half-cent to $4.665, its highest amount since June 11. 

The average price has risen 5.1 cents over the past 10 days, including 1
cent Sunday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information
Service. It rose three consecutive days, dropped two-tenths of a cent
Tuesday and resumed increasing Wednesday. 

The average price is 2.5 cents more than one week ago, 20.1 cents higher
than one month ago and 5.6 cents above what it was one year ago. It has
dropped $1.828 since rising to a record $6.493 on Oct. 5, 2022. 

Meanwhile, the Orange County average price rose for the 18th time in 19
days, increasing four-tenths of a cent to $4.641, its highest amount
since June 3. It has risen 19.9 cents over the past 19 days, including a
half-cent Sunday. It increased 13 consecutive days, dropped two-tenths
of a cent Wednesday and resumed rising Thursday. 

The Orange County average price is 3.4 cents more than one week ago,
22.3 cents more than one month ago and 10.6 cents above what it was one
year ago. It has dropped $1.817 since rising to a record $6.458 on Oct.
5, 2022. 

The national average price rose two-tenths of a cent to $3.199 after
back-to-back decreases totaling seven-tenths of a cent, including
three-tenths of a cent Sunday. 

The national average price is nine-tenths of a cent more than one week
ago and 4.3 cents higher than one month ago, but 7.4 cents less than one
year ago. It has dropped $1.817 since rising to a record $5.016 on June
14, 2022. 

“Most of the nation’s 50 states saw gas prices rise over the last week,
while some Great Lakes states saw significant relief thanks to the
restart of BP’s Whiting, Indiana, refinery after severe weather caused a
temporary outage,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at
GasBuddy, which provides real-time gas price information from more than
150,000 stations. 

“GasBuddy counts 17 states with average prices below $3 per gallon —
fewer than we’ve seen in recent months. Ohio, Michigan, Indiana,
Kentucky and Illinois led the declines, while just a few additional
states saw price drops. 

“Meanwhile, the West Coast may see continued increases ahead in
California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, and Nevada due to seasonal
refinery maintenance and the shutdown of a refinery in Southern
California, which will keep supply tight. However, with the transition
back to winter gasoline just a week away for most areas, those increases
may be short-lived, with potential relief arriving toward the end of the
month. 

“Additionally, OPEC+ announced an increase in oil production starting in
October, which could help keep oil prices lower for longer.” 

OPEC+ is the Russia-led group of oil producers.
