Prices in California are and should remain fairly stable, said Patrick De Haan, lead petroleum analyst at GasBuddy, which tracks prices.
The good news is that prices have come down substantially. The decline may be over for now, but they could go a little lower, he said.
People pumping gas in the state also pay the 18.4 cents a gallon federal tax as well as other state and local taxes and fees. The state gasoline tax burden remains the highest in the nation, the federal Energy Information Administration said.
Friday, the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in the Sacramento area was $4.81, down from a week though up slightly from a year ago.
