CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) _ A national survey shows gas prices have dropped 15 cents a gallon in the last two weeks.

The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline at self-serve stations was $3.70 Friday. Mid-grade was at $3.83 and premium was at $3.95.

 
That's according to the Lundberg Survey of 7,000 gas stations nationwide, released Sunday.

Diesel was at $3.82.

The California average was $3.94, down 16 cents from two weeks ago.
