Gas prices are up significantly across the US, with the national average for a gallon of regular now at $3.58.

The national average price for a gallon of regular gas has crossed the $3 mark, and there’s no state with gas under that price. It now sits at $3.58 a gallon, according to the latest data gathered from AAA. That’s up from $2.92 just a month ago, with the conflict in the Middle East sending crude oil prices skyrocketing. However, the average also fails to reflect the significant price variation across states.

California retains its top spot as the state with the most expensive gas in the nation, with a gallon of gas costing $5.34. That beats out Washington, which sits at $4.72. Hawaii is the state with the third-highest average price at $4.69, up from $4.40 in February.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, drivers across the central and southern US are paying the least for regular gas. Kansas now has the lowest average gas prices at $3.01. That’s up from $2.48. Oklahoma and North Dakota round out the top three states with the cheapest gas, averaging $3.03 and $3.09, respectively. Texans are paying $3.25, while Florida residents are paying $3.70 a gallon.

The increase in the average price for a gallon of regular gas over the last month coincides with an increase in mid-grade and premium prices, too. US consumers are now paying $4.08 and $4.44 for those fuel types. Diesel customers are paying $4.83 a gallon on average, up $1.20 from a year ago. These trends offer a decent picture for consumers: Gas prices are rising.
