Methodology

This map ranks all 50 states by the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline, as reported by AAA. AAA publishes daily state-level averages compiled from fuel-price data across stations nationwide, which makes it the de-facto standard for an all-50-state daily comparison.

Each state shows its average price for the data date noted on the page; #1 is the most expensive. Prices move daily with crude oil costs, state fuel taxes, regional refining and supply, and seasonal blend requirements — which is why high-tax, supply-constrained states (like California) consistently sit near the top and why this map carries a specific date rather than a year.

Figures are AAA's published state averages, reproduced as attributed facts with our own ranking and presentation; we do not alter the underlying numbers.

Ranks are ordinal (1 = highest by this metric). Ties are broken alphabetically by state name.
