LOS ANGELES — It wasn't all that long ago that filling up a big gas tank cost less than $100 in California.
Not anymore. The statewide average for regular gas is currently $6.34 per gallon, more than two dollars higher than a year ago, meaning that anyone putting 16 gallons or more in their car is paying over $100.
"It's terrible," Lisa, a driver in California, told Yahoo Finance. "I can't go visit my grandkids in Ventura County because of the gas prices, and then I work far away."
Some parts of the Golden State are being affected more than others: One station in Mendocino, north of San Francisco along the coast, recently recorded prices a few cents away from $10.
