圣迭戈县油价九连降：自助普通汽油每加仑6.343美元，九天累计降8.4美分
圣迭戈县的汽油价格连续第九天下降。据《Mission Times Courier》10月11日报道，10日（周六）圣迭戈县自助普通汽油均价再降1美分，至每加仑6.343美元。过去九天里，当地油价累计下降了8.4美分，其中仅10日一天就下降了2美分。
尽管连续多日回落，圣迭戈县的油价仍处于全美最高水平之列。加州汽油价格长期高于全美平均水平，较高的税费、环保标准燃油配方以及炼油产能紧张都是推高当地油价的因素。
与之形成对比的是，中西部部分地区的油价已回落至每加仑4美元以下。俄亥俄州本月宣布暂停征收州汽油税90天，当地油价应声跌破4美元大关；科罗拉多州州长也于近日签署行政令，临时放宽燃油运输与执法规定以稳定油价。
连续九天的降价虽幅度不大，但至少暂时止住了此前的上涨势头。加州油价的短期走势仍将取决于炼油厂开工率和国际原油价格。

San Diego County Gas Prices Fall for Ninth Straight Day to $6.343 a Gallon
Gasoline prices in San Diego County fell for the ninth consecutive day. According to the Mission Times Courier, which reported the figures on October 11, the average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline dropped another cent on Saturday, October 10, to $6.343. Over the past nine days, local prices have fallen a total of 8.4 cents, including a 2-cent drop on Friday alone.
Despite the steady decline, San Diego County prices remain among the highest in the nation. California gasoline has long run above the national average, driven by higher taxes, cleaner-burning fuel formulations required by environmental standards, and tight refining capacity.
By contrast, prices in parts of the Midwest have fallen below $4 a gallon. Ohio this month suspended its state gasoline tax for 90 days, sending local prices below the $4 mark, while Colorado's governor signed an executive order temporarily easing fuel transportation and enforcement rules to stabilize prices.
Nine straight days of declines may be modest, but they have at least halted the recent upward trend. California's near-term price direction will hinge on refinery utilization and global crude prices.
