Gas prices in California have had a history of being higher than in many other areas of the US, but recently they have risen to well over $6 and even $7 a gallon in some parts.
This far exceeds the current national average of $3.96, per Y-Charts.
The gas price hike has caused many California residents to make hard choices, sometimes having to choose between filling up their tank or buying lunch.
San Diego residents at a local 7-Eleven spoke to FOX News Digital about how rising gas prices, have been affecting their lives.
