Diesel gas has reached almost $7 per gallon in Los Angeles

California's drivers know that gas in the Golden State is much more expensive than the rest of the nation. Fox News' correspondent Matt Finn shared on Twitter that diesel gas reached almost $7 per gallon at one station in Los Angeles.

According to the American Automobile Association, AAA, the nationwide average for regular gas is now $4.32 per gallon while California's regular gas is $5.80 per gallon. 

California's gas prices tend to be greater than those of the rest of the country due to a combination of factors including, state and local taxes and greenhouse gas emission laws.
