At $3.348, it's a bargain

That's the average price of a gallon of self-serve regular in the L.A. area, according to the federal government's latest survey, and before you start moaning about the extra few bucks you're shelling out at the pump, just remember it could be worse. You could be living in SF, where the average price is a whopping $3.462 - a nearly 12 cent difference. Typically, the difference between L.A. and SF pump prices is two or three cents at most, so there's probably some short-term supply issue in th Bay Area. Statewide, the average price is $3.359, which is an all-time record.
