LOS ANGELES -- The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County rose four-tenths of a cent Saturday to $4.754, a record high for the eighth time in the last nine days.
The average price has risen 12 of the past 13 days, increasing 8.6 cents, including three-tenths of a cent Friday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service. It is 2 cents more than one week ago, 8 cents higher than one month ago and $1.211 more than one year ago. The Orange County average price rose six-tenths of a cent to $4.73, also a new record high.

The Orange County average price is 1.5 cents more than one week ago, 8.3 cents higher than one month ago and $1.206 greater than one year ago.
