That didn't take long -- gas prices are back at $6 and beyond.
Those prices have also breached the $6 mark in Orange and Ventura counties, averaging $6.10 and $6.04, respectively. In the Inland Empire, those prices are still a hair under $6, with an average price of $5.97 a gallon.
According to AAA and Oil Price Information Service, these are the largest increases seen in Southern California since July of 2015. The sharp climbs are mostly due to planned and unplanned refinery maintenance in California, and AAA says West Coast fuel inventories are at their lowest level in about a decade. Gas prices are also going up across the country, hitting an average of $3.72 a gallon, but could Hurricane Ian churning its way toward Florida could also fuel further increases.
