Holocaust Remembrance, Red Carpet, Gas Prices: Things to Know this Week in Murrieta

Here are five things to know the week of Jan. 27, 2014 in Murrieta, Calif.

1. Today is designated by the United Nations as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. It is the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in 1945 and honors the victims of the Nazi era.

2. It's a good time to fill 'er up! The streak of dropping prices for a gallon of self- serve regular gasoline in the Inland Empire was extended today to a 20th day, but barely, as it decreased one-tenth of a cent to $3.596. The average price in Riverside and San Bernardino counties has dropped 8.8 cents over the past 20 days, including six-tenths of a cent on Sunday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service. The average price is 2.6 cents less than one week ago, 3 cents lower than one month ago and 12.2 cents below what it was one year ago.
