CNN and MSNBC keep repeating Oklahoma

Has the lowest gas prices in the country?

Is it just a general thing?

I just filled up at 1.69 in South Carolina and stations up and down my 49 mile trip were 1.69 to 1.78 highest I saw.

Just curious on the Oklahoma thing.

our gas prices went UP a nickel in the last 2 weeks. prices are 2.05 to 2.09 here. They normally go up the closer it comes to NASCAR weekend, but that cancelled, Im a bit confused.

States that don't tax gas heavily are much cheaper than states that do.

Granted, the Charleston is a fancier dance.



Still about 1.85 in Detroit.
