(The Center Square) – This Thanksgiving weekend will feel much like last year’s for Hoosier drivers, according to data released Wednesday by AAA.

The national association of motor clubs reported the average price of a gallon of regular unleaded is $3.104. That’s a nearly 7-cent jump from Tuesday and more than 15 cents higher than a month ago. However, it’s less than a penny cheaper than the average price this time a year ago.

Indiana’s average price is slightly more than 3 cents more expensive than the national average of $3.073.

Gas is the most expensive in Putnam County. The rural county located about halfway between Terre Haute and Indianapolis averages $3.285 per gallon. It costs the least in Scott County, which is about 30 miles north of Louisville, where it costs $2.727.

Motorists in Indianapolis are paying $3.143, while those in Fort Wayne pay $3.207.

Lower prices are found mainly in the southwest corner of the state. In Vanderburgh County, the most populous county along the Ohio River, the average is $2.771

Indiana’s average price is lower than that of two of its neighboring states and higher than that of the other two. Illinois drivers are paying $3.268 a gallon, while those in Michigan are being charged $3.136. Ohio motorists have an average price of $3.043, while the average price at Kentucky gas stations is $2.831.

Nationally, gas is most expensive in Hawaii, where motorists are paying an average of $4.575. It’s lowest in Oklahoma, where the average price is $2.524.

For electric vehicle owners, AAA also found the average price in Indiana is slightly higher than the national average. Hoosiers are paying 35.8 cents per kilowatt-hour to charge their cars, compared to 34.8 across the country.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the median range for a 2024 EV is 37kWh per 100 miles, so it would cost about $13.25 per 100 miles. That’s about $1.25 cheaper than in Kentucky, which has the seventh-highest average at 41.8 cents per kWh.
