It's now at its highest point since March 11, 2020.

The cost of regular gas in Los Angeles County is $3.47 a gallon.

A month ago, it was about 24 cents less.

The rise in prices has to do with refinery trouble, the switch to summer-blend gas and the lifting of the state's stay-at-home order, which increased demand by putting more people back on the roads.
