Californians shocked by high gasoline prices

Gas prices surged almost 40 cents a gallon this week in California.

It's a shocking situation where prices in some cities are close to five dollars a gallon.

AAA projects prices in Oklahoma will go down, while they go up in California because of low supplies and refinery problems.

“There's a real possibility prices in California could eclipse the all time high which was $4.61 in 2008,” said Avery Ash with AAA.

The website Gasbuddy.Com says the average price of gasoline is about $3.61 a gallon right now here in Oklahoma.
