For the 32nd consecutive day, U.S. gas prices have gone up, reaching the highest point since a record spike in California in October.
On Monday, the statewide average in California was $4.16 per gallon.
In Sacramento, it was $3.97 per gallon, which represented an increase of 48 cents over the past month, according to data from AAA.
A spokesperson for AAA cited numerous reasons for the increase, including oil refineries that she said are down for maintenance; an earlier-than-usual switch from winter-blend fuel to summer-blend fuel; rising crude oil prices; and an improvement in the economy that is sending people back to work and creating a greater demand for gasoline.
But many consumers are skeptical.
?That?s crazy,? said Kathy Roberts, who was pumping gas at a station on Arden Way on Monday. ?When you weren?t working, you were looking for work, so you still used the same amounts.?
