Amid rising gas prices, now averaging above $6 per gallon in California, commuters may find some relief, if they’re willing to go a little out of the way to find it.
At the Morongo Travel Center in Cabazon, gas prices are well below the national average: $4.99 for regular, $5.29 for mid-grade and $5.49 for premium. Diesel is also priced low at $6.79, while the state average for diesel now sits well above $7 per gallon.
