Gas Prices Differ Nationwide
The state you live on has a lot of effect on how much you pay at the pump. For example, if you’re on an island trip to Maui, expect to pay close to $3 a gallon currently (even after the huge drop in gas prices). Alaska is really expensive too, even though a lot of drilling is done there.
Among the cheaper states are Texas, Wyoming, and Colorado. Those states are well less than $2/gallon.
Even if you are in a more expensive state, it’s much better than Europe. There, because of high taxes on fuel consumption, gas is well over $4/gallon, often around $6/gallon when gas prices get expensive!
