CA and LA Gas Down 10 Cents Per Gallon--How Does San Marino Compare?

The state and national average cost for a regular gallon of gas has gone down about 10 cents in the past week and most San Marino gas prices are following suit with one exception.

Despite average state and area gas prices dropping 10 cents per gallon in the past week, on Mission Street and Los Robles Avenue is charging the same price for full-serve gas that it charged one week ago.

While Leon’s regular self-serve gas is 44 cents less per gallon than that of the Huntington , a gallon of regular full-serve gas is a better buy at Valero at 10 cents less per gallon.

Both San Marino gas stations—Leon’s and Valero—still charge between four and 50 cents more than the average price per gallon for Los Angeles and California, according to data from the Automobile Club of Southern California.
