Since June, gasoline prices have climbed more or less steadily and are now 35 cents per gallon higher than they were a year ago. According to AAA’s daily fuel gauge report, which measures gas prices around the country, gas prices have hit daily record highs at least once in each of the past six weeks. In Michigan and Ohio, prices rose by 50 cents per gallon in the past year. As of October 8, there are seven separate states with gas prices above $4.00 per gallon.

Editor’s note: gas prices updated to October 8.

While the price at the pump has risen in every state compared to a year ago, in some states the price of gas has increased at a much slower rate, and many are much closer to $3.50 than to $4.00 per gallon, well below the national average price. In 10 states the average price of a gallon of gas is $3.60 or less — 18 cents less than the national average of $3.78 per gallon.
