>>> no relief tonight for frustrated drivers in the state of california . since we saw you here last night, the already record high gas prices shot up another 4 cents. $4.65 a gallon. that's the highest in the country due to reduced supply in several refineries. the national average is now $3.81. that's the most expensive we've seen this time of year ever. analysts expect prices to slowly start dropping in a few days.
