One year ago on Oct. 3, 2021, gasoline was $4.42 per gallon in LA County -- over $2 cheaper than it is Monday.
And because those prices are averages, individual gas stations may be selling gasoline for much higher prices. In Santa Clarita, one Shell station was selling regular unleaded gasoline for $6.69.
The reasons for the skyrocketing prices are complicated.working as it used to, with maintenance upgrades putting a number of refineries out of commission. But according to Consumer Watchdog, a group based out of Santa Monica, California is getting hit with high prices on purpose, due to state legislation that will force gas companies to publically share their monthly profits.
