10 States Where Gas Costs The Most

The effects of the Russia-Ukraine war are still sending ripples globally, even with crude oil prices falling $19 off the early March highs of $123 per barrel. In an effort to help lower fuel prices, U.S. President Joe Biden recently announced the use of E15, a type of gasoline that uses a 15% ethanol blend, from the beginning of June to Sept. 15.

With the new measure accounted for, the environmental impact assessment (EIA) expects national averages of $3.84 per gallon over the summer season amid higher crude prices and increased demand due to economic activity.

According to the AAA, the national average on Monday is $4.19, up $2.94 from the average in the same period last year.

Here is a list of the states hit the hardest by the higher gas prices.
