Let us know where you and your neighbors can get the best price for fuel.

How much are you paying for gas these days?

Unrest in Libya has sent crude oil prices rocketing, resulting in some of the highest gasoline prices in Southern California history.

"In the worst week of gas price hikes so far in 2011, local price averages jumped by nearly a dime to about $3.50 a gallon in most areas," according to the Automobile Club of Southern California’s Weekend Gas Watch.

The average price of self-serve regular gasoline in the Los Angeles area has now climbed even higher, jumping  from $3.60 to $3.66 per gallon on Friday, the highest amount on record since June, 2008.
