Gas prices in Los Angeles County reached a record high Monday as the cost for a gallon of regular increased eight-tenths of a cent overnight to $6.467, according to data from the American Automobile Assn. The previous high was $6.462, set on June 14.
The stark difference has been attributed to problems at refineries affecting supply, with at least six refineries in California undergoing maintenance, and limited supply to states east of the Rockies, said Andrew Gross, a AAA spokesperson.
Newsom pointed out the stark difference in gas prices between California and the rest of the country. The national average for a gallon of regular stood at about $3.79, or$2.58 lower than California’s average.American interstates are going to get a lot friendlier to EVs
