Gasoline prices have been drifting downward recently, particularly as crude oil prices have fallen. According to AAA, the average price of a gallon of regular is $3.09, down from $3.39 a year ago. In some states, the price is much higher, depending on gasoline refinery capacity and state gas taxes.

Gas prices jumped higher last May and December as the price of a barrel of crude moved above $80 a barrel. Today, that figure is $67.

According to GasBuddy, California has the highest average gas price, at $4.64, and the highest tax per gallon, at $0.8655. The national average is $0.5709.

These are the 15 states with the highest gas prices:

  • California (4.641)
  • Hawaii (4.567)
  • Washington (4.027)
  • Nevada (3.719)
  • Oregon (3.681)
  • Alaska (3.390)
  • Arizona (3.362)
  • Pennsylvania (3.248)
  • Illinois (3.176)
  • District of Columba (3.148)
  • Idaho (3.145)
  • Montana (3.140)
