According to AAA, the average price per gallon in North Carolina is $3.07 -- the highest-ranked state in the continental United States. The District of Columbia and Hawaii have higher gas prices than North Carolina, at $3.14 and $3.24 respectively.

Wow! Can't believe Oregon is on the top list for something!

Maybe I should bring my bike from Portland to Salem and fill it up at my friend's farm.

Where are the California comparison numbers?

Currently in Fontana/Bloomington, the price for 87 is $2.89 and well over $3.09 for 91.

But we do feel for those hit double because of the Canes and the fuel prices. Seems unjust.
