Fifteen states still have regular gasoline below $4

AAA state averages place regular gasoline below $4 in 15 of 51 entries, leaving the other 36 at or above that level. The national average is $4.2701 per gallon. The figures show a divided picture rather than one uniform price, with state-level averages varying around the national number. Since fuel is a routine expense, these differences can influence how drivers view local costs.
The price split could affect households and businesses that depend on driving, especially where averages remain above $4. Drivers may adjust discretionary spending or travel plans, while small firms with vehicle costs may feel pressure on margins. Because the story reports averages, individual stations and local conditions may differ. The impact may be uneven across states, with consumers in lower-average areas seeing some relief and others facing higher costs.
