AAA Lists Most Expensive States for Gas: 9 of Top 10 Are Run by Democrats
David Hawkins March 8, 2022

According to AAA here are the most expensive states for gas as of Monday:

The American Automobile Association (AAA) has listed the top-ten most expensive states to buy gas, nine of which are run by Democrats.

According to AAA, the national average for a gallon of gas is $4.06 and rising.

The average is now 45 cents more than a week ago, 62 cents more than a month ago, and $1.30 more than a year ago.

And it promises to get worse as the West debates banning Russian oil.

AAA has released a list of the ten states with the most expensive gas prices and most are blue states.

The only red state in the top ten is Alaska, which surprisingly comes in at number 6.

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said:

“There are few words to describe the unprecedented rise in gasoline prices over the last week, with massive spikes coast to coast in both gasoline and diesel prices, as oil prices jump to their highest since 2008. ...

California: $5.34
Hawaii: $4.69
Nevada: $4.59
Oregon: $4.51
Washington: $4.44
Alaska: $4.39
Illinois: $4.30
Connecticut: $4.28
New York: $4.26
Pennsylvania: $4.23

Retirement communities are big on EV golf carts. My parents have one as do most of their neighbors.

Golf carts are literally the best use for batteries if the community/village/city allows it. I use mine to get around since the speed limits are 25mph, so you can't get yourself in trouble on a cart. They're quiet. And what I can't stand is EV drivers just not admitting they're fun to drive. I get the speed and torque flooring the pedal. Is that worth $30-50k more than a similar ICE car? No. It's basic math really.

When I leave town it's a full sized V8 SUV. Mine is 14 years old, 232k miles. Minor repairs and oil changes an EV wouldn't need. I 100% would need a new battery with an EV though with the miles and age. $15-20K? That's more than my gas and repairs over the same time frame.

You're better off buying a new car and if it's EV again you're now $60-100k in the hole on a fucking car. I can repair my car now for substantially less than a new car. EV drivers are getting raped, they just don't know it. If I got a sedan like a Toyota Corolla I'd be massively ahead financially. Similar size to a Tesla.

I don't know, I just don't get car people that spend so much money. I need utility and there's not a single EV model that provides anything close to what I need by a long shot. I give no shits about speed or gadgets.
