California residents pay more for gas than anywhere else in the nation — and fuel prices are steadily rising, according to data from AAA. As of Friday, the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in California was $4.84, the automobile association said.

California drivers are seeing an increase in fuel expenses. The price of a gallon of regular gas rose 41 cents from one month ago. That would amount to about $243 more a year for a car getting average mileage (24.4 miles per gallon) that is driven the average distance (14,489 miles) per year.
