(AUGUST 12, 2022) Gas is expensive. Only four other states have higher gas prices. They are California, Hawaii, Nevada, and Alaska.
But now the price of gas is a little cheaper.
The average gas price in Oregon dropped this week. The average price for gas in Oregon was $5.05 per gallon last week. Now the average price for gas in Oregon is $4.91 per gallon. The highest average price in Oregon was $5.55 in the middle of June.
The national average price also dropped. The national average gas price was $4.18 last week. This week, the national average gas price is $4.03. The highest average price in the country was $5.02 in June.
Why? The high prices mean fewer people are driving now. Also, the price of oil has dropped.
