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.

Yes, it’s really hard to transport gasoline from California refineries to California gas stations.
California is about to really find out the price of gasoline as the refineries in state close.
Criminal Oregon democrats are spending the gas tax money on themselves and illegal aliens, NOT the roads.
All they do to the roads is use CRACK FILLER.
Democrat crack fillers are criminals who rip off the taxpayers in multiple ways.
Same with us, our indiana refinery was down, price shot up this week/last week...
up here in bakersfield reg gas is over 4.00 must be labor day weekend
Thank you California. And special Phoenix fuel.
Still $3.99 in Reno.
They cannot.
Not sure how much you know about Oregon. On Highway 97 near LaPine ODOT blew 100 million on an abandoned overpass they couldn’t be used because they screwed up the geologic survey.
“Still $3.99 in Reno.”
I was running on fumes today. Had to pull in to a station on S Virginia by Wholefoods. It was a dollar more than that! Needless to say, just got a quarter of a tank.
That $100 million sounds like that was the money they can’t account for in their budget.
I was on 97 near LaPine a month ago. Took me half an hour to go a few miles due to road construction.
Filled up yesterday in Carson for $3.21. gas buddy had it listed and we were coming to the lake for 2 gigs Fri and tonight.
WA has absolutely horrible roads. But then Demonrats run most everything, so what can you expect?
In Ohio it’s 2.65 sucks having Democrats run your state huh
“I paid 2.69 this afternoon”
Where?
No refineries in AZ. All gasoline piped in from TX, NM, CA
Ain’t Climate Change wonderful.
“Where?”

Florida

You’re dependent on CA refineries.
