Washington State’s Nation-Leading Pump Prices A Warning To All
gas station wash state pricesVacationers hitting the highways currently face a nationwide average price of $3.52 per gallon of gasoline, according to AAA. However, the price varies widely among states.
California usually leads the nation and is currently at a sky-high $4.85 per gallon, but this year it has been eclipsed by Washington state at a hefty $4.98 per gallon.
The reason is clear – costly climate change policies adopted by both states – and it provides lessons for the rest of the nation. [emphasis, links added]
The cheapest gas is in Mississippi at $2.96 per gallon, and several other states are under $3.30. This gives a real-world yardstick of what is possible at current oil prices.
