Drivers troll for lowest gas prices
Drivers found themselves trolling Main Street looking for the lowest gasoline prices as the average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gas set records in the past week. Prices in Ramona on Monday ranged from a high of $5.09 per gallon for self-serve regular gasoline to a low of $4.73. Countywide the average was $4.725, an increase of 1.3 cents over the previous day, an indication the upward trend may be leveling. Monday’s increase was the smallest during a sixday span that saw the price spike 54.7 cents, including 3.8 cents on Sunday, according to AAA and Oil Price Information Service. The average price set records for three consecutive days and on Monday was 56.3 cents more than a week earlier, 56.6 cents higher than a month ago, and 92.7 cents more than a year ago. Gov. Jerry Brown’s order
The Ramona foundation, an affiliate of the San Diego Foundation, made the presentations in the Ramona Library Community Room after an estimated 70 guests sampled wine from Ramona vintners and were treated to catered hors d’oeuvres.
