Bay Area drivers are seeing increased gas prices, with prices reaching over $6 per gallon in one Bay Area city and nearly $7 a gallon in another. The increase in gas prices is attributed to the U.S. involvement in the Iran war, which is causing crude oil prices to exceed $100 per-barrel. The rising gas prices could lead to increased interest in electric vehicles and hybrids. Currently, the average price for regular gas is $5.20.
