Gas prices on the upswing
By Shan Li, Los Angeles Times
Problems at some of the state’s fuel refineries have sent gasoline prices soaring in California just in time for the kickoff of the busy driving season.
A gallon of regular gasoline hit a statewide average of $4.196 on Thursday, up about 13 cents in a week, according to AAA. That’s the highest price since March 2013.
The U.S. average of $3.657 is up less than a nickel from the previous Thursday.
