• Gas prices across the U.S. have seen a surge this week
• The national average is now the highest since October 2014
• The Biden administration is now considering steps to lower the price of gas

Gas prices are soaring in several parts of the United States, with those in Los Angeles at their highest since 2012.

On Wednesday, the average gas price in Los Angeles was $4.42 per gallon, making it the highest in nine years — when Chevron’s refinery in Richmond, which processed 240,000 barrels of crude oil a day, caught fire — according to oil and gasoline prices expert Patrick de Haan.

“Average #gasprices in LA now at their HIGHEST since 2012- when Chevron’s Richmond refinery caught fire. $4.42/gal, and it likely won’t stop there!” he wrote on Twitter.
