As of Friday, California’s statewide gas price average was an eye-popping $5.80 — yearly $6.00 and around a dollar over the national average of $4.27.

Breitbart reports:

Prices are stunningly high all across the West Coast, as Nevada reports an average of $5.041, followed by Washington ($4.723), Oregon ($4.702), and Arizona ($4.611). 

Other states reporting some of the highest gas prices in the nation include Alaska ($4.707), Hawaii ($5.118), Illinois ($4.526), New York ($4.392), and Connecticut ($4.372). 

Kansas and Missouri appear to be reporting the lowest averages in the nation — $3.787 and $3.788, respectively. 

President Joe Biden has refused to take responsibility for crushing American energy independence and implementing bad policies leading to skyrocketing prices. Rather, he has placed blame on both Russian President Vladimir Putin and oil and gas companies.
