In spite of robust summer demand and a minor rise in crude oil prices, California’s average gas price is remaining stable this week, according to a statement issued Thursday by Doug Shupe, corporate communications manager for the Automobile Club of Southern California. Thanks to a strong supply that keeps prices in check, drivers in a number of locations, including Bakersfield, San Diego, the Central Coast, Riverside, and Long Beach, California, are even witnessing little decreases at the pump.
