Inspectors Crack Down on Price Gouging as LA Gas Prices Skyrocket

Gas prices in California, particularly in LA County, are at record highs, prompting inspectors to check local gas stations for price gouging. The current state average is $6.07, with LA County prices at $6.31. Inspectors are ensuring that customers receive the correct amount of fuel for their payment. Regional refinery issues and increased crude oil prices are contributing to the high prices. California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law to prevent such price hikes, but the situation persists.
