Gas prices set California record

Posted:

SAN FRANCISCO (WKOW) -- California has set a state record for gasoline prices -- but the hikes may be slowing.

According to the AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report for Tuesday, the average price of regular jumped only a fraction of a cent overnight -- compared to nearly 50 cents in the past week.

It's now a bit over $4.67 a gallon. That's still the highest price in the nation and an all-time high for the Golden State.

The highest average price in the state, at $4.75, is in the San Luis Obispo, Atascadero and Paso Robles area. San Diego is $4.72 a gallon and the Los Angeles area about $4.71.

The national average price for a gallon of regular gas is $3.81. In Wisconsin, the price is just over the national average at $3.82.
