'Through the roof': This county has the highest average gas price in America

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

For Connie Lear, driving even her hybrid car is a luxury she can rarely afford.

Lear lives in the rural town of June Lake, California, a picturesque community of 300 people near Yosemite National Park and the Nevada state line.

June Lake is part of Mono County, which has the highest average gas price in the United States.

“My husband and I were watching the news this morning, and it came on about $4 gas and I said, ‘Well, where are you? Ours is $7.50!’” she said, citing the price at the only gas station in her town. The Mono County average was $6.72 as of Monday, according to AAA.

1. I've been thinking the same thing

Even here, in the metro Phoenix area, regular unleaded gas is well over $4/gal. The station we usually use hit $5/gal last weekend and is currently at $4.90. Gas prices in the western states are generally quite a bit higher than back east, but the press seems to ignore that.

Preemptive disclaimer: Texas is not a western state, no matter how much they like to cosplay.
