For a moment we were able to catch a break on those high gas prices until...
The nightmare began all over again. Gas prices across the United States of America continue to skyrocket to nearly $4 a gallon this week.
In March 2022, AAA reported that the average price of gas in Utah is $3.768, which was slightly above the national average of $3.43.
While the pain at the pump may last a while, there are places across the U.S. where it's still possible to find good deals.

In February of 2023, we began seeing gas prices sneaking back up yet again. Prices have risen by about $0.53 since last month.
Nationally, it costs above $3.43 on average for a gallon of gas, according to AAA.
Fox13 News reported:
"In a statement earlier this week, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox blamed the rising prices on a Utah refinery closing for annual maintenance that's taking longer than expected".
"Utah’s gasoline prices typically increase in March because of higher demand; however, due to the regional supply decrease, those price increases have jumpstarted earlier than expected," Cox said in a statement. “Unfortunately, this comes on top of an increase in natural gas prices, and we’re very concerned about those struggling to make ends meet."
In addition, a Colorado refinery shut down in December due to malfunctioning equipment as well as a series of safety concerns, which surely didn't help matters; which is expected to (hopefully) be resolved by March.
