RIVERSIDE (CNS) – The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Riverside County rose for the fourth consecutive day Tuesday, increasing nine-tenths of a cent to $4.788.

The average price is 1.4 cents more than one week ago, but 4.8 cents less than one month ago and $1.391 less than one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and the Oil Price Information Service.

It has dropped $1.585 since rising to a record $6.373 on Oct. 5.

The national average price dropped six-tenths of a cent to $3.529. It is 3.5 cents less than one week ago, 2.4 cents less than one month ago and $1.278 less than one year ago. The national average price has dropped $1.487 since rising to a record $5.016 on June 14, 2022.
