Gasoline prices are dropping at the pumps all over Burbank and elsewhere. The AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report says the national average is $3.086 a gallon for regular.

After flirting with the $5 a gallon milestone , self-serve regular is back to being under $4 a gallon at some pump stations in Burbank.

Okay, we’re not seeing self-serve regular for $2 a gallon — but under $4 a gallon is still a good buy. A short while ago, regular gasoline at the pump appeared to be headed for the $5 a gallon mark. The national average for regular today is $3.6, according to triple A. However, on Labor Day weekend last year the average price was $2.6 […]
