Gas Watch — Forget $5 a Gallon, Try $6

By /
Frustrated with rising gas prices? Try $6.34 a gallon. That’s what residents in the isolated town of Bethel, Alaska are paying, according to USA Today. (However, it’s worth noting that you can’t drive to Bethel, it’s fly-in or riverboat-in only.)

Yet Hawaii still takes the cake as the most expensive state overall for gas prices. AAA’s Daily Fuel Gauge report puts the statewide average at $4.49. 

Gas costs are even higher on the neighbor islands. Molokai residents saw an overnight jump of 25 cents last week – reaching $5.36 for regular unleaded.
