Why is gas so expensive in Indiana?

I’m heading to Indiana for a work trip for a week, and I’ll be renting a car there. What are gas prices like in Indiana?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
While gas in
Indiana
 may feel expensive, the current average cost per gallon for regular unleaded gas is $3.52—and the national average is $3.57. 
Some factors that can raise
gas tax prices
 include:
  • High cost of crude oil
  • Increasing demand
  • Decreasing fuel supply
  • Inflation
  • State
    sales tax
If you’re looking to save some money, there are a few ways to reduce fuel costs:
  • Drive mindfully: While driving, accelerate slowly and avoid excessive idling—like in heavy traffic—if possible.
  • Ensure your tires are properly inflated: Keeping your tires properly inflated will maximize your gas mileage.
  • Shop around for gas prices: Use apps like GasBuddy or Waze to find the lowest gas prices near you.
  • Join a warehouse club: Buy-in-bulk stores like Costco and Sam’s Club often offer lower gas prices for members.

How many feet should you leave between cars when driving?
I’m a few months out from my driving test and I’m a little worried about passing. I know that part of the test will be driving in a neighborhood and part will be on the highway. How many feet should I leave between me and the cars in front of me?
