Data source: AAA. With the exception of Illinois, all of these states are located in the western part of the country. New England comes next, with average prices ranging from $3.642 to $3.916, followed by the Midwest and the South.
If 2024 follows last year's trend, we can expect these prices to remain relatively flat through mid- to late July before rising again in late summer. But the cost of oil isn't always easy to predict. If prices rise sharply, we could see gas prices spike sooner.
