DESCRIPTION

Washington fuel prices took home the gold this week, surpassing California as the most expensive fuel market in the nation. The average price of a gallon of regular unleaded was sitting at $4.89 statewide on Monday, up from $4.81 the week prior according to AAA data. This price hike marks the 20th week this year of rising fuel prices for Washingtonians, following the implementation of the new carbon tax earlier this year.
