Gas prices per state.

I've chosen to look at gas prices per state. I was interested to see how much American's paid for their gas compared to others. As you can see by the map above, the states which pay the most are those located on the west coast and New york. I'd believe this to be that states such as California, Oregon and Washington are much more Environmentally conscious than states such as Texas which are steriotypically seen as a oil hungry state. I was then interested to see how much we pay in comparison to the Americans. Each of the prices shown above is the amount for a US gallon of gas. a US gallon is equivalent to 3.7 litres. At the current exchange rate the we pay on average $8.09 for a US gallon while the american in say Utah will pay around 58p per litre and Arkansas 38p per litre. The US uses a total of 144 million litres of gasoline per day.
