Alaska Gas Prices Exceed National Average by 50 Cents
Low-income households are disproportionately affected as Alaskans reallocate money from grocery budgets and dip into savings to pay for fuel. The average price of a gallon of gas in the state now exceeds $4.60, which is about 50 cents more expensive than the national average. These prices follow a nationwide surge in gasoline costs since the United States and Israel went to war with Iran in late February.
