Drivers in the state of Washington are celebrating the official start of summer with an unwelcome sight: America’s most expensive gas prices. The average cost of regular gasoline in Washington state has jumped by 32 cents over the past month to $4.93 a gallon, according to AAA. That’s 7 cents ahead of California, which is notorious for its high prices for everything, especially fuel. It’s an unusual trend.
Still, some drivers in Washington are paying well over $5 a gallon. In King County, where Seattle is located, the average for regular gas is $5.09 a gallon, according to AAA. Washington’s Skamania County averages $5.32 a gallon. Washington state’s average gas price is nearly $2 a gallon above that of America’s cheapest state for fuel: Mississippi, where gas prices average $3.01 a gallon.
