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

New Report Blames Climate Policies for California’s High Gas Prices After Newsom Claimed It Was ‘Big Oil’

A new report from the Energy Policy Research Foundation (EPRF) has concluded that California’s “climate change” policies are to blame for the state’s soaring gas prices.

The confirmation comes despite insistence from Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom that “Big Oil” was to blame for the state’s higher-than-average fuel prices.

According to the EPRF analysis by researcher Max Pyziur, California has several climate policies impacting gasoline prices that are unique to the state.

AAA reported that the average gas price nationwide was around $3.17 a gallon.

In California, however, the average price is $4.67 a gallon.

The study by Pyzier pointed out that gasoline formulations exceeding EPA standards account for 16 cents a gallon of added cost.

California’s Cap and Trade program, an attempt to limit greenhouse gas emissions, is another cause of the higher prices.

This program caps greenhouse gas emissions and charges a fee for those who exceed the “caps.”

California also has an excise tax of 58 cents per gallon, which was only 18 cents a gallon in 2000.

The combination of these policies has made gas cost an average of $1 more per gallon in 2022 and 2023.

Do the math. They have to make up for EV's without taxing them directly. We're at about $3.29 I believe in IL. That $1.50/gallon extra is to pay for EV's and your location.

With a massive refinery in Indiana our bump is only about 10-20¢/gallon. Plus we don't have as many EV's as CA. EV's are costing ICE drivers a ton in places not near the Gulf or with major pipelines/refineries. Basically the entire West coast to the Rockies.

Nothing compared with what happens after refineries close down, once they shut down they are gone and never coming back.

CA prices were higher before EVs were a thing. It's the fucking "special formulation".

Touch hyperbolic. Even for CA you’d be driving an F-350 to pay that much. I’ve never paid over $100 for a V8 15mpg SUV from empty. Your standard pickup would be less and a lot at V6’s now that can still haul and tow but more efficient.

Besides taxes the prices are coming down for sure in the next 6 months.

Does anyone actually look at gas prices or am I a snob? I look more at ingress and egress to get me out of said gas station quickly. My time is worth more than pennies. Right turn in and right turn out. No stop lights or crossing lanes. I'll burn more idling than I saved at the pump if I need to make a left turn.

I've got a 24 gallon tank too. I just don't care about the price. Would have to hit $10/gal which will never happen in my lifetime.
