- Gas prices change daily. Current average prices will likely differ somewhat from posted prices, though relative differences in average price from one state to the next should remain fairly consistent.
Because most trucks and airplanes use diesel fuel to power these types of transportation, diesel prices affect the prices of many other products. Most products are transported to stores and warehouses in diesel-powered vehicles. When the price of diesel increases, prices of goods like groceries, household needs, and clothing will most likely increase as well.
States With the Highest Diesel Fuel Prices
[The American Automobile Association (AAA)] (https://gasprices.aaa.com/state-gas-price-averages/) tracks the average gas prices by state. As of November 2022, the states with the highest average diesel fuel prices are California ($6.28), Pennsylvania ($6.16), Vermont ($6.16), Connecticut ($6.12), Hawaii ($6.07), Rhode Island ($6.03), Maine ($6.00), New York ($5.98), New Jersey ($5.97), and Delaware ($5.95).
In October 2022, only California, Hawaii, and Pennsylvania were in the top ten states with the highest diesel fuel prices. This shows how quickly prices can change and states can become more or less expensive to purchase diesel fuel in.
California has one of the highest fuel and diesel fuel prices in the United States. Regular gas sells at $5.44 and diesel is $6.28. The higher fuel prices in the Golden State are attributed to high gas taxes, greenhouse gas emission regulations, and inadequate crude oil reserves.
States With the Lowest Diesel Fuel Prices
The states that have the lowest diesel fuel prices are Texas ($4.69), Louisiana ($4.84), Oklahoma ($4.85), Mississippi ($4.86), Arkansas ($4.90), Kansas ($4.94), New Mexico ($4.95), Georgia ($4.97), Missouri ($4.99), and Alabama ($5.00). These states also have some of the lowest average prices for gasoline as well.
Unlike the states with the highest prices, there are only two states that were not in the top ten lowest fuel prices in October 2022 that were not still in the top ten lowest prices in November 2022.
