National average pump prices for gasoline have been dropping for the past month, but an average may be less eye-catching than a range. The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline Monday morning was $2.229, more than 53 cents a gallon less than last year’s price at the same time.
According to a report from GasBuddy, more than 30,000 U.S. stations are selling gas for less than $2 a gallon, with the lowest average price among the states in South Carolina ($1.916) and Oklahoma ($1.956).
Of the 80 U.S. gas stations with the lowest per-gallon prices, 79 are located in Oklahoma and one in South Carolina. The lowest price is $1.62 a gallon at a Sam’s Club store in Moore, Oklahoma.
While the difference between the average price and the lowest price is about 61 cents, the difference between the average price and the highest price is a whopping $3.76 a gallon. That is not a typo.
At a Shell station in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, a gallon of regular gas cost $5.99 Monday morning. That’s the hometown of Disney World, and that probably has a lot to do with the price of gas there. A Suncoast gas station in nearby Orlando is selling a gallon of gas of $5.95.
Those are just the top two Monday morning gas prices. Here a list of all 13 U.S. gas stations still charging more than $4 a gallon for regular gas:
