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.

With the increase of oil prices, there will be more demand for electric vehicles. However, the rare earths and lithium needed for them will mean locating them and digging new mines for them. That development will add to the price of the electric vehicles. Then, there will be the demand for electricity which will drive up its cost.
I would say bumbling Biden upset the apple cart.
Calif needs to severely clip the wings of Newsom.
I might be wrong, but most, if not all, Trump voters know why gas prices are going up, so she probably voted for Biden.

So much for the gig delivery jobs everyone here and elsewhere were pushing for the lockdown unemployed.
Petrol, one of the major expenses for a driver, have increased substantially.
A lot easier to make a little money on $2/ gallon fuel than $3.50/ gallon fuel.
The airline fuel surcharges are most likely back as well.
I was actually referring to DoorDash, GrubHub, InstaCart, the plethora of Amazon subcontractors, and things like CitizenDriver (long-distance pet delivery) ...
Daah, what did u think would happen when the green weenies got in charge. U HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING YET!
oh yea, where is all that power going to come from for those electric cars? This proves people are so badly educated the can be told and believe anything!
Joseph Stolen and his pinko travelers just doing what they do best; make the lives of your average citizens harder and worse.
Obama is silently whispering "do miss me yet" all the while gasoline continues to rise. It still has to go up at least another $1.50 a gallon to reach the levels during his administration. So buckle up as Biteme wants to try and break Obamas record.
You need to post that “pain” picture with the guy in front of the machine with all of the blinking lights.
Thanks for the gas pain, Democrats. Thanks a lot.
Really great move with Biden (though I’ll never believe 81 million people voted for him).

“I don’t know how they can justify doing like 10 to 20 cents a day, every time I turn around. Sounds like they are blaming the gas station owners and not the politicians
There will be a congressional hearing with all the oil company executives like before. They will be ostracized and demoralized for stealing from the American public, there will be shouts of nationalizing the energy sector this time.
Your GIF made me laugh but she’s totally got it!
up $.50 per gal in my town in central TX since Biden took office.
The only person who didn’t see this coming was an idiot liberal. But I repeat myself.
There is a Sinclair station not too far from me so I got a Sinclair gas card. The first time I used it, I noticed the pump took 10 cents off the listed price per gallon.
Made me happy!
