Recently, when Americans go to gas stations, they always feel that the money they pay is higher than the normal charge. According to the U.S. Monthly Gas Price Report, average gasoline prices across the United States rose 5.1%, or 17 cents per gallon, in July.

This is the first time since March that gasoline prices have increased, and it is also the highest increase since 2000 in July.

Avery Ash, a spokesman for the survey report, said: "High global oil prices, coupled with the peak season for driving and traveling in summer, increase the demand for gasoline. Therefore, the main factors causing high gasoline prices in July." Natural gas oil prices have risen across the United States, but the increase rate varies from state to state. The different factors are primarily the state's average oil tax revenue, the transportation costs of production.

Based on survey reports, as of July 31, "24/7 Wall Street" determined that the following 11 states have the highest gasoline prices.

In June of this year, "24/7 Wall Street" identified the 10 states with the lowest gasoline prices, four of which were located on the Gulf Coast. Crude oil is becoming increasingly cheaper, supplied by West Texas Intermediate crude oil production, produced primarily in the Gulf Coast region.

However, on this list, most of the areas with high gasoline prices are located in the northern United States, the Northeast and other regions, mainly because the cost of transporting oil is relatively high.

In addition, areas with the highest oil prices often have the highest gasoline taxes, including excise taxes and other state taxes. In the United States, the average oil tax is 30.5 cents per gallon, however, there are 4 states on this list with taxes exceeding 40 cents per gallon.

The biggest difference is in Alaska, where oil taxes are just 8 cents per gallon, lower than anywhere on this list.

Based on its report on natural gas prices, 24/7 Wall Street also looked at price changes from week to week, month to month and year to year to find the following 11 states with the highest gas prices. No. 11 Oregon
