Watched Footloose the other night with the fam. In the background of a scene shot at a gas station the posted price was $1.15 per gallon. That is consistent with pricing reports from that era and equates to pretty much the same price I’ve been paying lately in non-blue states.
The national average for regular gasoline is approximately $4.27 per gallon, while the average price in red (Republican-leaning) states generally hovers around $3.75 to $4.10 per gallon, remaining lower than the average in blue (Democratic-leaning) states.
