Drivers in the Pacific North-
west are paying some of the
nation’s highest prices for retail
gasoline. After 16 consecu-
tive weeks, Alaska ($3.48) has
unseated California ($3.44)
as the nation’s most expensive
market for retail gasoline and is
followed by regional neighbors
- Hawaii ($3.38), Washington
($3.20) and Nevada ($3.19) - as
the states with the highest aver-
ages. Drivers in South Carolina
($2.44) are paying the lowest
average of any state. Oklahoma
has the eighth-lowest price aver-
age today.
Motorists can find current gas
prices along their route with the
free AAA Mobile app for iPhone,
iPad and Android. The app can
also be used to map a route,
find discounts, book a hotel and

“This has been a wacky year
for retail gasoline,” said Chuck
Mai, spokesman for AAA Okla-
homa. “Gas prices usually fall
leading up to the Independence
Day holiday. However, this
year, persistent Midwest refin-
ery problems and recovering
crude prices threw a couple of
monkey wrenches into the equa-
bring even more oil onto the
market - and lower prices - if
sanctions against Iran are
lifted. The other is the possibil-
ity of Greece defaulting on its
debts, a move that could lead
to financial difficulties in other
European countries, reducing
demand for oil and bringing
prices lower.”
