Here are the five states with the lowest gas prices

As gas costs skyrocketed across the country, some states have made out better than others and are seeing prices at the pump much lower than the national average of $4.15 per gallon.

States with the lowest average prices are concentrated in the Midwest, but no state is reporting an average cost below $3.70.

Some places in California are seeing average prices near $6, the highest in the country.

Maryland

Maryland is seeing average gas prices at $3.76 per gallon, following action from Gov. Larry Hogan (R) to suspend the state’s gas tax.

Maryland was the first state to suspend the gas tax and saw prices drop after the move.

Texas
