The average price of a gallon of regular gas in the U.S. reached its lowest late-summer price of the past four years this month — but not in Oregon, where gas prices rose over the same time period.
So far this month, the U.S. average for a gallon of gas has been about $3.13, a 3-cent drop from August 2021, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Meanwhile, the average this month for a gallon in Oregon has been about $3.98, a 20-cent increase from August 2021, according to figures provided by AAA.
Adjusting for inflation, national gas prices are even more of a bargain for Americans. And even in Oregon, a 20-cent rise in gas prices over four years means prices didn’t increase as rapidly as inflation.
Nonetheless, per-gallon gas prices are far higher than August 2020, when they stood at just $2.18 nationally and $2.66 in Oregon.

Oregon currently has the fourth-highest in gas prices in the nation, according to AAA. It follows California, with the highest, then Hawaii and Washington. Experts say higher gas prices in certain states are due to a historic combination of factors, including gas taxes, environmental protections or the geographic difficulty of transporting gas into the regions.
On Friday, Oregon’s Legislature will convene to hash out whether to raise the state’s 40-cent-per-gallon gas tax by 6 cents to support the state’s deteriorating transportation system.

Gas went from $3.39 to $3.69 in the last week here, outside of Phx.
And the see you next Tuesday governor is threatening to sabotage roads if she doesn’t get her new gas and vehicle taxes. But there is always money for illegal aliens, homeless services, and keeping an army of lawyers on call to fight Trump.
Brace yourself. I saw this news online, and how did the left respond? “This is clearly sign of a recession”.
“””Gas went from $3.39 to $3.69 in the last week here, outside of Phx.”””
Under 3 bucks in Minneapolistan.
Here in So. CA, we are well below 5.00 per gal. But we have SPECIAL blend gas. Oh well.
On wednesday prices locally went up 30 cents a gallon, for the labor day weekend, today they are down 10 to 30 cents.
$2.47 in Joplin
And WA went up sixty cents.
Kill me now.
Could be worse. On the west side of the Colorado River in CA gas is $4.89, on the east side in AZ it’s $2.96. About 1 mile apart.
Montana has nearly only 1/4 the population of Oregon (fewer drivers), and only about 12,000 fewer miles of roads, yet Montana has a lower gasoline tax and its roads are on average in better shape than Oregon. Ahh, but Oregon is a Lib Dim run state and Montana isn’t.
Over 1 Billion dollars for illegal aliens per year in Oregon.
$1.85 obammie elected.
filthy faggot
Somaliopolis?
Haven’t seen $2-something in PA since Buy-dung’s inauguration.
It’s nice to see an excerpt about high gas prices that does not mention Illinois. I did not read the whole article, just in case.
Does California try to discourage is residents from scooting over the state line to AZ to buy cheap gas and avoid CA’s taxes?
On the west side of the Colorado River in CA gas is $4.89, on the east side in AZ it’s $2.96
It’s $4.15 to $5.00 here in Eastern WA . . .
I paid 2.69 this afternoon ...
