Surprise: Gas Prices Higher in Blue States, Lower in Red States

From the story: The highest gas prices are found disproportionately in high-tax, heavily regulated Democratic states, while the lowest gas prices show up in so-called red or purple states. California leads the way at a whopping $5.78 per gallon. At the bottom sits Kansas, at $3.81 per gallon (City Journal). 

From Fox News: California’s gas prices tend to be greater than those of the rest of the country due to a combination of factors including, state and local taxes and greenhouse gas emission laws (Fox News).
