Prices in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, West Virginia, and Virginia were more than South Carolina, but still in the low to mid $3 range. Massachusetts is around $3.59. I didn’t check the price in the sliver of Maryland we passed through, but it’s typically close to the $3.99 states. Ironically, the worst road conditions we encountered during the 1,350 mile ride were easily in both Pennsylvania (Rt. 81 and 84) and New York (Rt. 84), the highest gas price states.
You do realize that the price of gas is the price of gas, and the difference among states is primarily taxes.
