Santa Barbara County motorists experienced what Automobile Club of Southern California called “the worst week ever” for gasoline prices, as the average cost skyrocketed 75 cents and set yet another
The average price for a gallon of self-serve regular in the Santa Maria-Lompoc-Santa Barbara metropolitan area hit $5.69.
“This is nuts,” said Randall Moody as he tanked up his Ford F-150 work truck at Conserv Fuel on Betteravia Road just off Highway 101 in Santa Maria. “I hit three stations in San Luis, Nipomo and here, and this was the cheapest I found. Prices here are way higher than over in the [San Joaquin] Valley. It’s not worth it to come over here for construction jobs.”
Folks living over the San Luis Obispo County line were paying even more, with the average price of self-serve regular reaching $5.88, a new record and 77 cents more than they paid a week ago, $1.01 higher than a gallon cost them last month and $1.96 more than they paid a year ago.Other areas also saw one-week increases of 77 cents, including the Los Angeles-Long Beach metro area where the average hit $5.78 and the Orange County area where the average reached $5.76.
“However, locally there appears to be an issue with the Torrance PBF refinery after a power outage has caused five days of ‘unplanned flaring’ there, which is a sign of a breakdown that could disrupt gas supply,” Shupe added.
