SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA — The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County rose three-tenths of a cent Tuesday to $3.949, one day after a run of 47 increases in 48 days totaling 46.6 cents ended when it was unchanged. The average price is at its highest amount since Nov. 18, 2019. It is 2.7 cents higher than one week ago, 23 cents more than one month ago and 84.9 cents greater than one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service. "Growing stock levels and cheaper crude oil prices are putting downward pressure on pump prices," said Jeanette McGee, the AAA's director, external communication. "These are positive signs that less expensive gas prices could be around the corner, but not enough to indicate a steady trend just yet." — City News Service
