California’s average price for a gallon of gasoline jumped 12 cents since last week, reaching $4.69. Refinery maintenance across the state is part of the reason for the increase: when refineries pause production, gas prices in the area temporarily go up. However, relief may be coming as California gas stations made the switch to the cheaper winter blend gasoline on November 1.

Nationally, gas prices remain stable as November kicks off. The national average for a gallon of regular went up nearly 5 cents since last week to $3.08. Still, the national average is lower than it was this time last year, and gas prices should remain on a quiet path as we get closer to Thanksgiving.
