The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County rose Thursday to its highest amount since Nov. 28, increasing 1.9 cents to $3.576.
The average price has risen 10 consecutive days and 16 of the past 17, increasing 25.4 cents, including 4.2 cents Wednesday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service. It is 18.8 cents more than one week ago, 26.9 cents higher than one month ago and 5.7 cents greater than one year ago.
The rising prices are the result of a reduction in supply caused by a partial shutdown of the Phillips 66 Carson refinery, planned maintenance at the Torrance Refinery and issues at at least two Northern California refineries, Marie Montgomery of the Automobile Club of Southern California told City News Service.
