In order to combat rising gas prices in Southern California, candidates for governor of California are calling for a momentary suspension of the 88-cent condition gas taxes.

The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in Los Angeles County is$ 5. 56, up from$ 5. 56 in some areas since February, when the US-Israeli conflict began.

The highest tax in the US, which some experts predict will raise gas prices to close at$ 7 per gallon, is being proposed.
