SoCal Has the Highest Gas Prices in America — “by Far”

We’re well on our way to driving season’s prime time — summer — and Southern California has the highest gas prices in the United States, the Automobile Club of Southern California reports.

“Southern California continues to have the highest gas prices in the country by far, with price averages in local metro areas hovering about 20 cents above the $2.60 state average price for Hawaii,” said Auto Club spokesman Jeffrey Spring. 

The good news?

Prices appear to be “easing,” the AAA says. And, well, they’ve been much worse. The record high average price for a gallon of gas in L.A.-Long Beach came in October 2012: $4.705.
