1. California

Price of Gas per Gallon: $5.453

California is the state with the highest gas prices in U.S.A. A major factor behind this are the high local taxes, adding up to 87 cents per gallon to the price of gas in the Golden State – the highest in the country.

Moreover, since 1992, the state has required gas stations to sell a special gasoline blend that reduces smog, and that special blend also adds between 10-15 cents to the gas price. Another contributing factor to California’s high gas prices is the reliance on local production and nearby refineries, some of which were recently shuttered for maintenance.

California is also counted among the States with the Highest Natural Gas Prices in America.
