CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) _ A national survey shows gas prices have dropped 15 cents a gallon in the last two weeks.
The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline at self-serve stations was $3.70 Friday. Mid-grade was at $3.83 and premium was at $3.95.
That's according to the Lundberg Survey of 7,000 gas stations nationwide, released Sunday.
