Craig,

That’s what you get for being as far away from the Gulf Coast as any state in the continental U.S.

Washington has the fifth-highest gas prices in the U.S. It also has the sixth-highest gas taxes in the country, according to the American Petroleum Institute.

The four states ahead of you?

Alaska - way the hell out there
Hawaii - way the hell out there
California - highest gas taxes in the nation
Connecticut - second-highest gas taxes in the nation

Sometimes gas prices make more sense than people realize … geography and taxes are a big factor.
