Gabe, thanks for the national average of gas prices, but where I live, we're paying a fraction of the national debt. The other state I lived in has less expensive gas than here--Wyoming people live on the top of one of the world's largest oil lakes, and Texas has as much if not more than that just based on its size and geology. My country gas station had a price of $2.34 on their sales banner yesterday, and it could be half of that if the oil folks decided to help the people more than themselves, and they get more for gas sent elsewhere in the country that has no oil reserves they would admit to.
