A regular gallon of gas costs more than $6 on average in some parts of the Los Angeles area while prices reached as high as $7 in some parts of California on Tuesday as dwindling oil supplies put the squeeze on American motorists.
It was the first time since October of last year that gas in LA and Orange Counties surpassed the $6 threshold, according to Fox 11 Los Angeles TV.
The national average of a gallon of gas stood at $3.88, rising some eight cents in the span of a week, according to the American Automobile Association.
At this time last year, a gallon of gas was 18 cents cheaper nationally, AAA said.
Relief doesn’t appear to be on the horizon, at least not in the short term.
Comment:
Reducing supply increases price.
Thank Joe Biden and the Climate Cultists.

Gas prices in LA soar to over $6 a gallon as oil keeps climbing
Oil prices reached $95 a barrel for the first time this year on Tuesday — a trend fueled by supply cuts by Saudi Arabia and Russia.
