Why is gas so expensive in Louisiana?
I live in Louisiana and have been watching gas prices climb higher and higher. I know the Russian invasion of Ukraine played a role, but why are they still so high?

You’re right—the invasion of Ukraine resulted in bans on Russian oil imports, which increased gas prices. But apart from that, gas is so expensive in
Louisiana
due to:- High global oil demands
- Oil supply shortages
- Elevated refining costs
With the average price for regular unleaded gas in Louisiana sitting at $4.433 per gallon, the highest price in nearly two decades, it’s no wonder drivers are feeling gas-poor. But if you aren’t keen on spending your entire paycheck to fill up your car, here are a few ways to reduce your fuel consumption:
- Drive less, walk more
- Accelerate slowly
- Avoid excessive idling
- Make sure your tires are well inflated
- Avoid traffic
- Buy a hybrid or electric vehicle
Finding fuel savings at the pump probably won’t happen anytime soon, but you can find savings on insurance when you shop with
