PAIN AT THE PUMP: The turmoil in Eastern Europe is pushing prices even higher in California, where gas is the most expensive in the nation.
According to the Auto Club, the average price of a gallon of regular gas in Los Angeles County is now $4.77, hitting a record high for the 11th time in 12 days.
