Could Gas Really Reach $3/Gallon this Summer?

If you've filled up your gas tank lately, you probably noticed how much more you can get - and save.

Following weeks of rising gas prices throughout California, pump prices have now turned the corner and started to fall in the Golden State, according to AAA Insurance, which tracks gas prices as a service to consumers.

The organization's survey of gas prices revealed that every metro area in Northern California saw a drop in its average price over the past month.

As of Sunday, the lowest gas in San Carlos appears to be at the 76 Station at 90 El Camino, with a price of $3.94. There are several others at 4.00 or less.

Gas prices will continue to drop this summer, according to economists, due to a drop in crude oil as a result of the increase in Saudi Arabian supply and higher United States refinery production.

Experts expect gas prices to hit $3.
