The price of a gallon of gas dropped Monday for the 26th consecutive day, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California.
The average price of a gallon of regular was $4.117 in California, down a penny from Sunday’s price of $4.127, and 10.4 cents over the same day last week.
That’s still considerably higher than the $3.950 charged for a gallon of regular a year earlier, the Auto Club said.
