The back story on this one is that I drive by this gas station in Santa Monica a couple of times a week, and when I drove past on April 25, and regular was $4.09, I thought that was so high that I took a picture and posted it.

Then last week, on May 30, I drove by and it was $4.39, and I thought, wow, that’s a quick pop, so I posted that.

You can see what it is this morning: $4.59.

Relatedly: A great site for monitoring L.A. gas prices is, you guessed it, losangelesgasprices.com, which reports today that regular gas ranges from $4.08 to $4.72 per gallon in L.A., with an average price of $4.36.
