BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK\/KBFX) \u2014 Drivers in Bakersfield are seeing gas prices climb quickly, and photos taken a week apart at the same station highlight just how fast prices are rising.<\/p>\n

Images taken at the Chevron on Oak Street show regular gasoline increasing from about $5.39 (credit\/debit) per gallon last week to $5.69 (credit\/debit) per gallon, a jump of roughly 30 cents in just seven days.<\/p>\n

The increase comes as global oil markets react to the ongoing Iran\u2013Israel conflict<\/a> escalation, which has pushed crude oil prices higher and raised concerns about supply disruptions.<\/p>\n

According to the AAA<\/a>, the average price for a gallon of regular gas in Bakersfield is now $5.32, up sharply from $4.80 a week ago. Just a month ago, the average price in the city was $4.43 per gallon.<\/p>\n
