I’ll give you the bad news first, then the not-so-bad news.

First: Los Angeles has America’s most expensive gas, at an average of $4.59 per gallon, according to the Lundberg Survey of 7,000 gas stations. The survey reports the nationwide average is $4.10 a gallon, and the most expensive gas in America is in Los Angeles and Fresno -- where regular averages $4.59 per gallon.

Now the better news: Gas prices in Los Angeles have been fairly steady for about a week now. The attached photo was taken June 13 in Santa Monica, and the price at that station (Lincoln and Santa Monica boulevards) hasn’t budged in nine days, still $4.89/gallon.

LosAngelesGasPrices.com, an excellent resource, reports that regular gas averages $4.60 per gallon in L.A., unchanged from a week ago.
