Gas prices are at their highest level in nearly eight years, and experts warn they could rise even further if Russia launches a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
At one Los Angeles Chevron station, the price of regular unleaded was listed at an eye-watering $6.219 on Wednesday, when it was spotted by an AFP photojournalist.
The national average price of regular gasoline hit $3.53 on Tuesday, up 21 cents from a month ago and 90 cents more than a year ago, according to the AAA Gas Price Index.
