California Gas Prices Hit Record High

California drivers are paying a steep price at the pump, with gas hitting $6.11 on average—nearly double the national average—and soaring as high as $7.07 in some areas.

For everyday folks, the cost is brutal: what used to last a week now barely covers a weekend. With no immediate relief in sight, Californians brace for continued fuel price hikes as the state’s oil infrastructure struggles to keep up.
