However, some are saving more money on cheap gas than others.

Here’s a breakdown of where U.S. gas is cheapest, and where it’s most expensive, according to Gas Buddy.

The Most Expensive States

1. Hawaii: With the cost of shipping, it’s understandable why Hawaii’s $3.315 gas price would be highest in the country. Honolulu takes the honor of the U.S. city with the most expensive gas ($3.145 per gallon).

2. Alaska: For exactly the same reason as Hawaii, Alaska takes the number two spot with gas prices of $2.776 per gallon.

3. California: California takes the top spot for expensive gas among the contiguous states, where drivers pay $2.488 per gallon. San Francisco is the most expensive city in the contiguous states ($2.708).

5. Vermont: Finishing off the top five is Vermont, where drivers pay $2.415 for a gallon of gas.
