While the average price for a gallon of gas varies from state to state - drivers in a certain Silicon Valley town are facing particularly extortionate rates that set them back almost $150 for a full tank.

Hawaii rates second, with an average price of $4.803, closely followed by Washington ($4.656), Nevada ($4.615) and Oregon ($4.428).

The only other states with averages above $4 are Alaska ($4.370) and Arizona ($4.112)

Mississippi has the lowest average price per gallon at $3.098 and its neighbors Alabama ($3.263), Louisiana ($3.166), Arkansas ($3.223) and Good 'ol Rockey top Tennessee ($3.272) are amongst some of the cheapest places to buy gas.

Along with Newsom's help!

The Democrats will blame this on Climate Change and/or Trump.
Half the country will believe it.

Georgia is at 3.39 a gallon for regular unleaded.

News reports like this are a joke. They never tell the full story.

Gasoline prices have spiked almost every year around this time. There’s a simple reason for it: U.S. refineries typically experience a capacity crunch around April every year because this is the time of year when they transition from winter to summer fuel blends.

$2.39/gal regular unleaded yesterday in central Texas. $2.49/gal Diesel

[maddog55]

Not sure where they get the gas prices but we’re $2.99 to $3.39 and the same gas stations can change their prices a couple times a day which makes no sense.

[MotorCityBuck]

$3.17 a gallon in Germantown, TN.

And to make it worse President Sniffer drained our Strategic Petroleum Reserves. And he’s giving our weapons away to Ukraine...

The United States became a total petroleum net exporter in 2020, but became a net importer in 2022. (EIA - Oil and petroleum products explained)

High gas prices will not drive people to much more expensive controlled EVs

And to think, California used to be a major oil producer.

California deserves it

[Polyxene]

I live east of Cincinnati. $3.49 here this morning. Would be 10 cents cheaper if DeWine hadn’t raised the gas tax. Gggrrr!

[The Great RJ]

If the national average price of gasoline goes above $4 and is advancing toward $5 by election time, Biden should be toast. However, millions of fraudulent ballots have yet to be counted.

[T. Rustin Noone]

$4.29 and rising in central Washington

[markman46]

the morons at MSN in the comment section are blaiming russa and opec for the increase in gas prices.
