If you\u2019ve filled up your gas tank recently, the price at the pump may come as a shock as the cost of a tank of gas ticks higher and higher and higher. <\/p>\n

The national average for a gallon of regular gas is $4.125, according to AAA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

People living in the western part of the country, as well as Alaska, Hawaii, Illinois, and Washington, D.C., are paying the most on average, from $4.282 to $5.893 a gallon.<\/p>\n

The cheapest gas is in the central part of the U.S. and Georgia, where the average is between $3.443 and $3.763.<\/p>\n

California is where gas is the most expensive at $5.893 a gallon.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma is where gas is the cheapest at $3.443 a gallon.<\/p>\n

Premium gas briefly crested<\/a> the $5 mark on April 12 at $5.003, but it went back to $4.996 on Monday. <\/p>\n

A year ago at this time, the average cost for a gallon of regular was nearly a dollar cheaper at $3.189. <\/p>\n

We still haven\u2019t hit a record, and have just under a dollar to reach the $5.016 a gallon benchmark, which occurred on June 14, 2022.<\/p>\n

Diesel is even more expensive, averaging $5.652 a gallon, but it hasn\u2019t broken the record of $5.816 set on June 19, 2022. <\/p>\n
