Highest (and Lowest) Gas Prices Across the U.S.
The average American will spend about $1,000 this year on a summer vacation, according to a recent American Express survey. At MoneyWatch, we don't want high gas prices to be a part of that equation for you. (After all, you have much more important things to spend your money on.) For tips on how to spend as little of that as possible on gas, read our story on the six biggest gas myths.
Meanwhile, we’ve compiled a list of the 10 U.S. cities with the highest (and lowest) gas prices, using data from GasBuddy.com – a site that gathers local gas price information by using a network of volunteer spotters across the U.S.
The national average is $2.807 per gallon. Where does your city rank?
