LOS ANGELES (KTLA) — Los Angeles County has the highest gas prices in California, as prices for are above $5 a gallon in some areas of the city.
Prices are rising because of maintenance issues at refineries and increasing oil prices.
The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline hit $3.73 over the weekend.
Analysts say that, on Sunday, gas prices increased for the 32nd consecutive day.
In the last month, the average price of a gallon of gasoline has increased nearly 13 percent, according to AAA.
AAA says that drivers in Southern California are paying an average of $4.29 per gallon in Los Angeles.
A gallon of regular gasoline costs $4.28 in Orange County, and in the Inland Empire, it’s $4.25.
Prices are expected to rise even further in March and April.
“It’s way too much,” said one motorist filling up his tank at a Miracle Mile gas station charging $5.09 for a gallon of regular gas. “It’s unbelievable.”

If there will ever be insurrection it will be over this.

No there won't. Ever. We're sheep and we'll put up with anything. We'll let the government lie to us, corporations rob us blind, and we sit back and take it.

Way to make up a story where none exists. The average price is $4.28 and you found one gas station that has a rediculous price to make the news and call it a headline! Bogus reporting.

Don't worry as soon as feinstein is done disarming Californians she will launch another investigation into this.

Obama said he was going to fix this. Another promise broken.
lacofortwenty
Yeah, and he was going to close Gitmo in his first year in office. He's full of shit, AND a liar.

I thought the war with Iraq was all about getting the oil?
Another lie of course as we in the know understand it is all about Obama bowing down to his Saudi King…
bex
Just got gas for $4.09. Shut it, KTLA.

So what? Gas can go to $10 a gallon and we’ll pay it. And too bad that the U.S. is sitting on billions and billions of barrels of oil and Dictator Obama says not one drop will be extracted on his watch…and the Democrats cheer. Moron voters ruin it for everyone.

"The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries said the U.S. should see the biggest output gains among non-OPEC oil producers this year"
Does not matter though, even when the US becomes the biggest oil producing country we will still be paying higher gas prices. Oil companies greed and exports for bigger profits than they can get here will never end.

Gas prices "soaring", water prices and utility prices "soaring" US resources strained. Jobs few and far between. Cutting Medicare and Social Services to the elderly. Obama asking the public and Congress for "more money" every breath he takes. And then he plans to add more than 11 million illegal immigrant residents? Great plan to get the US back on their feet.

Google the "$2.5 Trillion Oil Scam – slideshare" and google the "Global Oil Scam." California is a victim of this scam. Plug your electric car into your household, solar power battery.

the reason gas is high ,is because negroes didn't used to drive, and we never had all these mexicans here!!!,,,,,,and all these foreigners fleeing their own countries like cowards, to come to a country that doesn't want them here!…wonder why nobody's fleeing to mexico and africa?…..

This is outrageous, all we do is work just to survive. Before we get our paycheck home it is gone. We need to take care of our own instead of letting more in. Especially illegals who want to right there wrongs. Get these people off the street selling food with no place to wash there hands and use the bathroom, we have enough deseases.This is against the law and nothing is being done, there making tax free money and California is screaming broke. Rent is high, gas is high, electricity is high, water high and we are giving our attention to bringing more people in. FK this S–t. What about the people that are citizens we will be homeless soon. SICK & TIRED.
