"Rising Gas Prices: Impact on California and Indian Markets"

Gas prices in California have soared above $5 per gallon, with the state being the only one in the nation to reach this level. Factors contributing to the high prices include tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine, increased summer demand, the need for a specific summer blend to meet state emissions requirements, and a high gas tax in California. While prices have decreased compared to last month and last year, Californians are still feeling the impact. Efforts are being made for gas relief, but in the meantime, drivers are advised to consider driving less and use apps like GasBuddy to find cheaper gas options.
