Prices Jump; Cheapest Gas in or Near Imperial Beach

As of 1 p.m. Tuesday, the cheapest gas in Imperial Beach or west of Interstate 5 could be found for $4.19 at San Diego Gasoline and Food at the corner of Hollister Street and Coronado Avenue.

The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County rose Tuesday for the sixth consecutive day, increasing 1.6 cents to $4.365.

The increases stem from record low gasoline inventories and continued refinery issues, according to Jeffrey Spring of the Automobile Club of Southern California.

The average price is 14.7 cents more than a week ago, 12 cents higher than a month ago and 16 cents greater than a year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
