The average price for a gallon of gas in the LA-Long Beach area has jumped to $4.25 a gallon, which is up six cents from Thursday, and 25 cents from a week ago.
Prices in the Southland are as high as $5.09 at a Chevron station in downtown Los Angeles, while Burbank’s Fleet Fueling is still at $3.70 a gallon.
It’s not unusual to have price jumps in February, but AAA and the Oil Price Information Service say gas prices were already at record highs.
