Connecticut is number one…and I’m not sure we should be happy about that.
Seen at Daily Fuel Economy Tip:
For the first time in history, America has a state with an average gasoline price above $4 per gallon. To the surprise of many, the first state to $4 wasn’t California, or even another West Coast state – instead, the dubious honor of being the first state with $4 gas goes to Connecticut.
According to state-wide figures posted on GasBuddy.com, Connecticut first crossed the $4.00 threshold shortly before noon this morning. Since then, the price has fallen back to $3.99 a gallon. For basis of comparison, Wyoming currently has the nation’s lowest state-wide average price at $3.48 per gallon.
And CT hit the $4 mark first even without the benefit of the half-percent gas tax hike which takes effect in just under two months.
