Big drop in L.A. gas prices

Finally, we're seeing significant declines - an average gallon of regular in the L.A. area fell nearly 10 cents in just the last week, to $4.16, according to the government survey. Gas remains way higher than it was last fall, but at least the lower prices will provide relief - psychological as much as anything else. It might also lead to a busier Memorial Day weekend than has been expected by the Auto Club.
