Potential good news for residents planning for their Independence Day travel: the cost of filling up gas tanks in Southern California has been dropping for more than two weeks as California’s gas tax raise takes effect July 1.

The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in Los Angeles County decreased for the 17th consecutive day to $6.308, which is 6.4 cents less than one week ago but $2 higher than one year ago.
