"Exploring the Surging Gas Prices: Unprecedented Climbs in 2021"

Gas prices in Los Angeles County have surged at their fastest rate this year, with the average price of a gallon of regular gas increasing nearly 20 cents in just 48 hours. The average price in the county now stands at $5.91, with some gas stations charging over $6 per gallon. Refinery issues, including unexpected power outages, have disrupted the supply to Southern California, leading to the price hikes. Experts suggest shopping around for cheaper gas and driving fuel-efficiently to mitigate the impact. The prices are expected to remain high for another week or two, depending on any further refinery issues.

The Unique Challenges Driving High Gas Prices in Arizona

Arizona now ranks fourth in the country for the highest cost of gas per gallon. The state has three different types of blends required during the month of March, as opposed to other states that have one or two, which restricts the flow of supply at a time when there is less gas available because refineries are doing maintenance before the summer driving season. This, along with the spring break season, has pushed up Arizona's gas prices. However, Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, expects a slight drop in prices over the next few weeks.
