California gas prices continue to rise, setting a new record for the third day in a row. According to AAA Monday, the average price for a gallon of regular gas in the Golden State is $4.68, surpassing previous records set in 2008 and 2012.
In comparison, the national average price for a regular gallon of gas is $3.41. Additionally, many gas stations in the Golden State have prices for a gallon of regular gas at nearly $6 or more. AAA said California is experiencing high gas prices due to heavy rainstorms in the northern part of the state slowing production.
