The average price in Riverside and San Bernardino counties has risen 56.5 cents during the streak of increases, the longest since a 27-day streak from Feb. 8 to March 5, 2012, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
The average price is 9.8 cents more than one week ago, 57.6 cents higher than one month ago and 20.7 cents greater than one year ago.
“Prices have now gone up even more than they did during the spike in October and the one last February, and more quickly than they did during any one-month stretch in 2008, when we had another big spike,” Jeffrey Spring of the Automobile Club of Southern California said.
