Drivers this Fourth of July weekend will find that the price of gasoline has eased a bit in California as well as nationwide.
The average retail price for regular self-serve unleaded gasoline slipped nearly a penny a gallon last week to $1.34, the Energy Information Administration said. That's down from a peak of $1.62 a gallon in mid-April, but up about 14 cents a gallon from year-ago prices.
