Magic Gas: What's the Cheapest Gas Around? Tell Us.

Tensions in the Middle East are making gas super-pricey again. How are you coping?

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

In the last three days alone, prices have risen by 14 cents.

"The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County rose 4 cents Sunday, after increasing by 10 cents over Friday and Saturday," according to a survey by the Oil Price Information Service of the American Automobile Club of Southern California.
