Pain at the pump: California gas prices are sky high, with one town charging almost $8 a gallon

It's not your imagination. California, like the rest of the nation, is paying more at the pump.

Prices are so high — and consumers are so perplexed — that a Google search of “Why are gas prices going up?” has spiked this month. Likewise, people are pleading: “When are gas prices going down?” which has also been trending on Google.

The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is $4.54 in California, which is about $1.16 higher than the national average, according to data from AAA.
