Wow, under $3 gas is out there huh?Gas prices are the lowest on average in Southern and Midwestern states, with Texas boasting the cheapest fill-ups in the U.S. at $3.59 a gallon, according to AAA, followed by South Carolina at $3.62 and Arkansas at $3.64.
Other states where the average price is below $4 a gallon are: Georgia ($3.65), Oklahoma ($3.65), Tennessee ($3.66), Mississippi ($3.67), Alabama ($3.67), Kentucky ($3.69), Missouri ($3.70), Kansas ($3.70), Iowa ($3.70), Louisiana ($3.71), Wisconsin ($3.76), Ohio ($3.77), North Carolina ($3.78), Florida ($3.81), New Mexico ($3.85), Virginia ($3.87), Nebraska ($3.92), Delaware ($3.96) and Indiana ($3.99).
At least 12 gas stations across the U.S. are selling gas for less than $3 a gallon, according to GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan, including four in Iowa, three in Texas, three in Oklahoma and two in Kansas.
The most common gas price in the U.S. is $3.79 a gallon, De Haan tweeted Saturday.
Four states still have an average gas price above $5 a gallon, according to AAA: California ($5.47), Hawaii ($5.42), Alaska ($5.01) and Nevada ($5.00). Gas in four California counties is actually averaging above $6 a gallon, topped by Alpine County, a rural area along the Nevada border. The average gas price in the county is $6.80 a gallon, per AAA—the highest of anywhere in the nation.
I guess we have to give Putin the credit for that, since he also was blamed for the initial rise.
