Crude oil prices are at their highest in more than three years, and there's no relief in sight.
In the Los Angeles-Long Beach area, drivers are paying $3.66 per gallon, a 64-cent increase from last year when gas was $3.02.
Rising gas prices are also affecting Orange County, where gas is 61 cents more than last year at $3.62 per gallon.
Drivers are experiencing a similar story in San Bernardino and Ventura counties. Gas there is about 60 cents more than the previous year.
There are several reasons behind the price climb. One being that a wave of economic growth has driven up demand, while production cutbacks have whittled down oil supplies.
The hike is expected to last through the summer.
