“Even with the expected increase in demand for fuel heading into the Christmas holiday, we are still seeing crude oil prices move lower and ample fuel inventories in the market, which has put downward pressure on the pump prices,” Doug Shupe, the Automobile Club of Southern California’s corporate communications manager, told City News Service.
The national average price dropped for the 41st consecutive day, decreasing 1.9 cents to $3.123, 12.2 cents less than one week ago, 54.8 cents lower than one month ago and 18.5 cents below what it was one year ago.
