Gas In California Hits $5.92 In September Some $.46 Higher than Just Last Month

Gas prices in September in California hit $5.92 on average according to the daily survey published by AAA.

California which is facing a near record low in state refining capacity, is home to the highest gas prices in the country as drivers are paying on average 36% more per gallon than the national average which translates into $1.56 per gallon.

In turn, increased fuel costs are rippling across the rest of the economy within the Golden State to a greater extent as well than anywhere else in the nation.

As California’s employers and employees struggle with the highest energy costs in the country on average, the Association of Western Employers will continue to track this critical story.
