The national average for gasoline is getting close to $4 a gallon. That's about a 33% rise in the last month.
But diesel is up even more, around 40% in the last month.

The state map is quite revealing. The south and upper mid-west are better off than the far west by quite a bit.
See where your state lands on the map.
My state, New York, is a little below the national average, but my town is just about right on the national average.

Typo on my part. National average is getting close to $4, not $5.

1. 1355 EDT AAA average for 22 Mar (regular)

https://gasprices.aaa.com/

$3.942
21 Mar: $3.925

AK, CA and WA average prices for regular ARE above $5, however. (( edit: meant HI, NOT AK))

It varies by state. AAA shows VA average for regular as $3.826.

This morning, gasbuddy.com showed the cheapest most-recent prices in Northen VA as running between #3.71 and $3.99.
