Californians are traveling to Mexico for cheaper gas, as fuel prices surged following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune and the Los Angeles Times.

The national average price for unleaded gasoline on Friday was $4.24 per gallon according to AAA, while in California, drivers are spending an average $5.9 per gallon and as much as $6.05 in Los Angeles.

At $3.96 a gallon in Tijuana, Mexico, the San Diego Union-Tribune and the Los Angeles Times report, gas prices are a good $2 lower than in California, encouraging many to cross the border to fill up their tanks.
