The average price has dropped 14.9 cents over the past 10 days, including 2 cents Wednesday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service. It is 11.7 cents less than one week ago but 49.2 cents higher than one month ago and $1.954 more than one year ago.

The top reason for the dropping prices is “that significant shipments of imported gasoline and gasoline ingredients have arrived in the state to ease supply concerns,” said Marie Montgomery, a public relations specialist with the Automobile Club of Southern California.
