>> reporter: oakland is lower than san francisco and in san jose is lower than oakland. still, the prices are up considerably everywhere. it is not just because of the refinery fire that happened last week but because the prices of crude oil are higher right now. if you combine those two things this shows why we have higher prices and gas right now. >> justine: i was driving around over the weekend trying to find cheap gas and i cannot find anything. i was wondering if it was even worth it to keep driving around. $4.17 is so much. >> reporter: it is kind of hard for me to comment on it because i have an electric car and in this case i am very happy about it.
