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

Will not impact IL at all unless they increase taxes because of EV's. WY, SD and ND are massive frackers. There are already pipelines that feed to IL to refine finished products in Whiting, IN. Still slightly losing population so demand won't increase likely, especially with EV's, so less ICE vehicles on the road.

Just paid $3.19/gal with no car wash deal or anything. Our prices have been going down. Taxes like I said are the biggie. With our top notch power grid if anything prices might get into the low $2 area.

I've used gasbuddy (source), but I'm not sure they account for the EV market taking demand away at all. IL prices are the least affected. Any bump is due to the winter blend ending. Won't have to do with "real" nominal gas prices. Happens every year.

I used to update this chart and publish it on X now and again to highlight just how significant the gasoline price rise was. During the COVIDiocy era in 2022, prices in my small California farming town for regular gasoline nearly touched $7 a gallon at one point.

Gas is almost under $3 in the PRNY. In 2017 it was about $2.25.

It costs a lot to maintain the seven-figure lifestyle of the globhomo grifters . . .
604   stereotomy   @   2025 May 2, 10:34am  

In 2017 when I moved back to the PRNY, gas was ~$1.80 a gallon. Under Bidet, it went up to $4.50, and now with Trump 2 it's back under $3.

Trump, however disruptive and objectionable he may be, is the only viable alternative to globohomo.

$3.15-25 here where I'm at in IL. Too high still, but I'll take it. Not wishing away the month, but Memorial day is here soon and they always seem to inch prices up over the weeks leading up to it.

On a gas station side note, Casey's (not sure if they're nationwide) give you a free pizza with two cases of beer. I can't stand the pizza but the kids love it. Gotta feed 'em so it turns into a free case of beer. Got 4 in the car. And yes, I'm that hillbilly penny pincher. 60 beers for the price of one and kids were fed. #winning.

Summer gas prices drop to lowest mark in 4 years


And it's not because of decreasing demand:

https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/sky-signs-saturday-july-12-2025-c


And this news arrives amidst summer travel season, when gas prices normally surge. Indeed, government reports say that last week, gasoline demand even shot up from 8.64 million barrels per day to 9.15.

Yet gas prices are still falling, defying the experts. Womp, womp.

ORANGE MAN BAD. BOMBING IRAN WILL CAUSE $30 PER GALLON GAS.

Next California gas tax hike is kicking in soon.

Watch Newsom blame it on Trump's bombing of Iran.

This is CA estimated gasoline prices break down as of 12/15/2025. The contents in the link may change so I took a screenshot as of today too.

https://www.energy.ca.gov/estimated-gasoline-price-breakdown-and-margins

Assuming the federal excise tax ($0.18) is charged in all states and the crude oil cost ($1.62) is about the same across the states, we're paying $2.63 on top of these 2 due to added costs listed there.

Feel free to post yours from your states too, it'll be good to compare them.

Think about gas prices for the next 20 years as we reach almost the end of oil supply.

About 1.6 trillion barrels are in proven oil reserves.

About 100 million barrels of oil are used each day (20% of that is USA),

Hence, there are around 16,000 days (or 44 years) of oil supply remaining.
615   Patrick   @   2026 Jan 4, 4:07pm  

But as Bjorn Lomborg showed in his book "The Skeptical Environmentalist", proven oil reserves go up every year, and never down.

So we really don't know how long oil will last. Could be a very long time.
