(Photo by: Alexander Nguyen\/Times of San Diego)<\/p>\n<p>While the <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.aaa.com\/2025\/11\/national-average-ticks-up-remains-lower-than-last-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">national average price <\/a>of regular gasoline sits at $3.08 a gallon as of Nov. 7, 2025, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA), San Diego drivers are once again feeling the pinch at the pump. The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County rose Friday for the ninth consecutive day, up 1.2 cents to $4.93.<\/p>\n<p>According to figures from AAA and the Oil Price Information Service, the average price has climbed 23.4 cents over the past nine days \u2014 including a 2.6-cent increase Thursday and a 7.6-cent jump last Friday, the biggest one-day rise since Sept. 28, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Phillips 66 refinery in Los Angeles is closing at the end of this year and stopped processing crude oil in mid-October, and that loss of capacity along with some planned and unplanned refinery maintenance, caused some supply concerns,\u201d said Doug Shupe, the Automobile Club of Southern California\u2019s corporate communications manager, in a statement released Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsually when gas prices spike, Southern California receives additional imported supplies from Asia and Canada to make up the shortfall. Prices should reverse course and head downward once that happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The current stretch of increases comes after a brief period of relief \u2014 eight decreases in nine days that dropped prices by 5.1 cents.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s average is 15 cents higher than a week ago, 15.3 cents higher than a month ago, and 36.2 cents more than this time last year. San Diego drivers are still paying far less than the record $6.434 per gallon set on Oct. 5, 2022, a drop of $1.504 from that all-time high.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere across the country, drivers are paying far less. The average price in Kentucky is about $2.68, New York averages around $3.11, and Arizona sits at roughly $3.36 per gallon \u2014 all well below what San Diegans are paying.<\/p>\n<p>Nationally, the average price fell slightly \u2014 down four-tenths of a cent to $3.08 after three consecutive increases totaling 4.8 cents, including a half-cent rise Thursday. The national average is 4 cents higher than a week ago but 4.1 cents lower than a month ago and 2.6 cents below where it stood last year.<\/p>\n<p>The national average has fallen $1.936 since hitting its record high of $5.016 on June 14, 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 City News Service contributed to this report<\/p>\n<p>READ NEXT\n\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A gas pump in San Diego.
