The national average for self-serve regular was $2.23 Nov. 17, according to Lundberg’s latest survey of 7,000 gas stations across the country.

California prices rose by more than double the national average, with an increase of 11 cents for self-serve regular since Nov. 3, Lundberg said.

Among California cities surveyed, the highest price was in San Diego, at $2.50 a gallon. The lowest price was in Sacramento, at $2.36 a gallon.
