L.A. drivers are paying $7 for gas: How to find stations near $5

SANTA MONICA, CA - JUNE 30: Farzin Keliddari pumps gas at the 76 on Michigan Ave & Cloverfield Blvd on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, in Santa Monica, CA. California drivers will pay more at the pump starting Wednesday, July 1, when the state's gas tax climbs another 2.2 cents per gallon. The increase is part of an annual adjustment tied to inflation under a 2017 state law. (Kayla Bartkowski / Los Angeles Times)
