Millions of Californians are expected to hit the road for the Fourth of July holiday, and while drivers are seeing a slight break at the gas pump, many say fuel costs are still weighing on their travel budgets.
Gas Prices Decline Modestly
Gas prices have declined modestly across the Central Coast in recent days, but California continues to have some of the highest fuel prices in the nation. Jeff Emery, who was visiting from Long Beach, said the cost of fuel can vary dramatically depending on where drivers fill up.
According to AAA, the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline is declining due to lower oil prices and adequate fuel supplies. However, many drivers say filling up remains expensive, with some hoping for prices to return to around $3.50 a gallon.
