Why is gas so expensive in Washington?
I’m visiting Washington for a few days, and I just went to fill up my rental car and almost croaked at the gas prices! Why is it so expensive to fuel up in WA?

You’re not alone—gas prices have risen dramatically just about everywhere. Gas is so expensive in
Washington
due to:- High cost of crude oil
- Increasing fuel demand
- Ban on Russian oil imports
On average, regular unleaded gas sits at $5.492 per gallon, while diesel is even higher at $6.454 per gallon—some of the highest prices in the country. Finding cheap gas prices can be a challenge, but there are things you can do to reduce your fuel consumption:
