The national average gas price is slowly sinking — dropping another two cents since Sunday — but Californians haven’t seen much relief at the pump.

After peaking at a record $4.33 on Mar. 11, the national average has sunk to $4.25 per gallon, according to AAA. The global price of crude oil has also dropped $20 since spiking after Russia invaded Ukraine last month.
