Gasoline prices in California have surged to the highest point of the year and are approaching prices seen last summer, according to the American Automobile Association.

According to AAA, the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded in California was $5.26 on Tuesday, up 10 cents over the past week and 37 cents over the past month. A year ago, drivers were paying $5.34 per gallon.

In Los Angeles County alone, the average price for regular unleaded was $5.36/gallon on Tuesday.

The national average was $3.85/gallon.

1. Those prices are for the most expensive gas.

I just filled my tank at $4.69 per gallon and that is 50 cents higher than I have been paying.
And yes we are cheaper than both LA and SF Bay area.

6. Marketing...

None the less, when I worked for Ford/Volvo we were always getting service bulletins advising all customers to stay away from budget brands like am/pm, arco etc. Their claim was it was less refined and therefore bad for your modern motor. This was 20 odd years ago mind you...
