AAA: Gas prices all around California lower than last month

The average statewide price of regular unleaded gasoline fell 6 cents over the past month to $3.96 a gallon, according to the latest monthly gas price survey released today by AAA.

In Northern California, the average price of $3.95 was down 3 cents from the May 14 AAA survey. Sacramento came in at $3.87, also down 3 cents from last month.

“Statewide, lower prices are expected to continue through June, barring any unforeseen event,” said Cynthia Harris, AAA Northern California spokeswoman. “Increased refinery production, steady crude oil prices and less demand by consumers are driving this trend.”

Many companies let themselves down in this area by providing not much more than a piece of tarmac for people to use. Of course vehicles on site when combined with pedestrians can have a nasty habit of producing accidents.

This blog post will detail some of the key elements that an employer should consider when providing parking spaces for its staff.
