These 8 Cities in Oregon Sure Do Make Us Pay a Lot for Gas!
When anyone mentions gas prices, it's rarely a good thing.
Oh, we long for the days when you can literally see the pennies go up as you're pumping your gas only to have it, now, skip all over the place.
Pumping gas and looking at the price flicker should never look like a slot machine on full whack, but here we are!
Fortunately, Oregon doesn't even make the top 3 states for expensive gas in America, thanks to our friends in California, Hawaii, and Washington, who round out the top 3 on the list.
On that note when you're driving long stretches, maybe it's best to leave Washington first, then fill up your gas in Oregon. You might save just enough for a gumball!
As of March 22, 2024, these are the most expensive cities in Oregon for gas according to philomathnews.com.
And you know, gas stations jack up prices just before a holiday weekend or during spring break or any opportunity they can to get away with it, if you ask me!
