Average price where my parents live (Alaska) is $3.30/gallon still. While you expect prices to be high in remote areas, they both produce oil and refine it in the state...

It's weird how Alaska doesn't have as low gas prices as Oklahoma, since they obviously produce more gas than us. $3.30 is much higher than the $1.99 I paid today. Whatever the government says about the national average of 2015, you can just subtract $0.30-0.45 from that to see what I will be paying for gas
