California gas prices are expected to spike even higher as the war in Iran strains global oil supplies, despite the state’s consumers already paying a hefty price at the pump.

The average price for a gallon of gas in California costs an average of 30 cents more as of March 2 than it did a month ago, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California.
