COSTA MESA (CBSLA) — The price for a gallon of regular gas has climbed as high as $4.05 in Orange County recently, which is why many drivers headed to Sam’s Club in Fountain Valley, where gas was going for $3.30 per gallon Monday — a full 75 cents cheaper than the most expensive stations.
“Gas keeps going up,” Mandy Hall, a driver, said. “I don’t know how they can justify doing like 10 to 20 cents a day, every time I turn around.”
According to the Auto Club of Southern California, gas prices in Los Angeles County have hit their highest rates since December 2019, with self-serve regular gasoline getting more expensive for most of February.
The average price Monday was $3.74 per gallon in L.A. County, following 20 consecutive days of price increases.
And in Orange County, the news was not much better with gasoline prices increasing for 21 straight days to $3.73 for a gallon of self-serve regular gas.
“I think it’s outrageous,” Timothy Bortvit, a driver, said. “It shouldn’t fluctuate that much just because there’s a problem some place, I don’t think. It’s gouging.”
So what’s actually causing the price of gas to go up? Experts say the recent spike is due to gas stations switching to a more expensive product known as a summer blend.

New York State now averaging over $3.00/gal.... NYC closer to $3.25/gal
Bush had one up. Didn’t care about him; wimp.
“summer blend”
LOL...we are still in WINTER for three more weeks. It’s not even SPRING yet.
Hey Einstein, do some math with me. A dime a week for 52 weeks a year for four years increase is how much?
Would you bitch at $210 a gallon gas? Don’t put it past the gallery of rouges, thieves, idiots and malcontents in the fed gov.
Then they will blame “big oil”. The Democrats will jump on that one and say it proves we need more alternative energy.
I paid almost $4 last night in Verde Valley AZ. Down in Scottsdale is hovering around $3. It was $2 when FXXhead took over.
How about the average American google a graph of the oil price. That might explain it, no, duh? I mean get real people.
Take a look at apples, automobiles and bread since 1975. They have outstripped inflation by a large margin. Oil not so much.
Calif has that season gas thing they mandate, winter arrives and they change the formula and the price goes up, then summer comes and they change the formula and the price goes up again.
In NC IT HAS not gone up relative to oil prices. I’m assuming underpresidential threat for now.
Biden is going to get the Russians to love him as much as the Chinese.
“ Biden voters everywhere overjoyed.”/

It would be interesting to see how high gas would have to for Californians to vote Republican.
Lots of info by state/national etc on gasoline prices.
Look around to find different options to choose from.
I wonder if she was a Biden voter?
Is she a Dominion voting machine? 
Saw $3.39 for Premium at Chevron today in Phoenix.
That’s a quick upward tick of about a Buck since Harris/Obama took the throne.
The ones paying the price are not happy, but not smart enough to link Biden and higher gas prices.
Average cost of $2.50/gal in Tennessee.
