SALINAS, Calif.- As gas prices continue to spiral downward, Californians are experiencing a welcome relief as the end-of-the-year holiday travel season approaches, according to the latest report from AAA Northern California.

Most places in northern California saw a decrease of at least nine cents over the past month.

California's average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.62, down 23 cents since last month's AAA report on November 13. For perspective, gas prices today are two cents more than California's average price on this date last year. 

"Prices at the pump have steadily declined across the country as demand continues to be low and supplies remain robust," reports Cynthia Harris, AAA Northern California spokesperson in a news release Tuesday. "The exception is the East Coast where supplies are increasing, but remain somewhat tight following the disruption in distribution from Hurricane Sandy."

While the demand will increase slightly for the holidays, overall demand is expected to remain low into 2013, which will keep downward pressure on gasoline prices.
