Is Florida gas cheap or expensive?

I never realized the extent to which gas prices are covered in the media until now. Yesterday's South Florida Sun-Sentinel ran a cover story on the issue, like AOL did today on its welcome screen. Here's a list of where to move if you want to pay less for gas:


The 10 cheapest states for fueling your car on average per gallon of regular gas:

  • Minnesota: $2.20
  • Michigan: $2.20
  • Kansas: $2.20
  • South Carolina: $2.18
  • Iowa: $2.17
  • Kentucky: $2.16
  • Indiana: $2.16
  • Ohio: $2.15
  • Oklahoma: $2.14
  • Missouri: $2.11

The top 10 most expensive states to fill a tank of regular gas on average:

  • New York: $2.67
  • Colorado: $2.69
  • California: $2.77
  • Washington: $2.77
  • Oregon: $2.77
  • Idaho: $2.79
  • Utah: $2.80
  • Nevada: $2.81
  • Alaska: $2.96
  • Hawaii: $3.14

Florida didn't make it to either list. From here-on-out I'm grateful that I don't live in Hawaii. This list was compiled by AAA and the Associated Press.
