5. Oregon

Price of Gas per Gallon: $4.256

Although Oregon has a much lower gas tax ($0.38 per gallon) than its neighboring Washington – one reason why the state has a harder time funding highway and bridge improvements – it still has high pump prices largely because of the state’s ban on self-serve gas. Stations need employees to pump gas for drivers in the Beaver State and have to charge more at the pump to cover the labor cost. On top of that, 35 cities and counties in Oregon add their own tax.
