SWEET RELIEF Alexandra Bissonnette The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline has dropped in Los Angeles County for 27 consecutive days and has fallen 40.5 cents since hitting a record high, the Oil Price Information Service reported Tuesday. The average of $4.221 is 37.1 cents lower than at this time last month and eight-tenths of a cent lower than the price reported early Sunday. Ken Prince from Salt Lake City filled his gas tank at a Santa Monica Arco Station on Tuesday. 'I saw gas for $4.59 just the other day,' he said, expressing his happiness regarding the lower prices.
