Langley : We saw what's shaping up to be major price spike. We've seen prices go up 6.5 cents since Tuesday. And that's pretty huge. 1.5 cents overnight.

On Monday, the average price in California was a half a cent lower than the national average. Rising prices in the Midwest are pushing up the national average.
