On June 26, 2025, AAA reported that the national average cost of a gallon of Regular was $3.90.

All 15 states with the lowest gas prices for a gallon of Regular have at least a Republican governor or a Republican-controlled legislature. What's more, in 12 of those 15 states, the GOP is in full control with both a Republican governor and legislature.

None of the 15 states with the lowest gas prices are fully-controlled by Democrats. And, in two of the three states with mixed leadership (#9 Kentucky and #12 Kansas), Republican have super-majorities in their legislatures and, thus, can override vetoes by their governors. North Carolina (#14) has a Democrat governor and a Republican legislature.

The fully-Democrat-controlled state with the lowest average cost of a gallon of gas ($3.66) is Minnesota, coming in at number 16. In contrast, the state with the lowest price at the pump in the nation is Indiana ($3.28), which has fully-Republican leadership. Nearly half (11 of 23) of the fully-Republican states have gas prices below $3.60 a gallon. None of the 14 fully-Democrat states have an average price that low.

Three states have gas prices of more than $5.00 a gallon: Washington ($5.24), California ($5.49) and Hawaii ($5.51). All three have both Democrat governors and legislatures.

Under the leadership of a Democrat mayor, the Nation's Capital (Washington, DC) has a higher average cost of gas ($4.17/Gallon) than all but seven states.

The trend is consistent with that of a similar CNSNews analysis of state governors performed roughly six months earlier and published December 2, 2025. At that time, four of the five states with the highest gas costs were run by Democrat governors. The lone exception, Nevada (#5), had a Republican governor, but Democrats controlled the legislature.

Additionally, seven of the ten states where pump prices were the highest were led by Democrat governors. When the District of Columbia, run by Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser, was added to the mix, eight of 11 had Democrat leaders. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
