Gas prices in California at $5.69 remain that same as last week, while the national average rose two cents to $4.14 per gallon.
“There continues to be upward pressure on oil prices due to concerns that less Russian oil will enter the global market,” said Auto Club spokesman Doug Shupe. “As we get closer to the peak driving season of the year, the Auto Club encourages drivers to make fuel efficiency part of their daily routine.”
