Fresno Gas Prices Skyrocketing

Drivers across California are once again getting sticker shock at the pump.

On Monday, Fresno commuters were paying an average of $5.43 per gallon for regular unleaded.

By Tuesday, that number rose to $5.46. However, valley drivers aren’t the only ones searching their floorboards for loose change.

The average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline was nearly $6.03 in the L.A. area, according to AAA. That’s about 11 cents higher than Monday’s $5.92.

The state average price is $5.76, up about 7 cents from $5.69 on Monday.

Nationally, however, gas prices actually dipped about a tenth of a cent, remaining right around $3.88.
