from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds
Gas prices in Southern California are skyrocketing, with Los Angeles County seeing averages of $5.17 per gallon and some stations charging over $8.

Websites like GasBuddy.com can help drivers find the cheapest prices nearby. The situation highlights the vulnerability of consumers to geopolitical events and the impact of local regulations on energy costs. Is the $8.21 price a sign of things to come?
