I assume that is because of the poverty levels in Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama.
Not sure what to say about Wyoming. I wonder if Indian Reservations squew the numbers for Wyoming.

Somewhat surprisingly, there’s no Q in skew. Maybe it’s just that Wyoming is so empty
3 hoursWyoming resident here. The distances are vast, the altitude is high and depending where you are the inclines don’t mess around.
Lower income, more driving, less fuel efficient cars, more sprawl, worse public transit.

And yeah that does make a lot of sense. For Wyoming honestly it’s also just a massively spread out state compared to nearly anywhere else

Yes, but that is combined with driving longer distances for commutes and other crap.

I’ve never seen it spelled that way before. Is that a regional thing, or just a typo?

Let’s see… this shows the ratio of money spent on gas to your income levels. That means a higher ratio is more painful when gas prices spike and less painful with a lower ratio.
9 of the top 10 states for highest/worst ratio are Republican Trumpland. 9 out of the top 10 states for lowest/best ratio are Democrat majority states (with Pennsylvania being swing).
Republicans are really playing some 4D chess by allowing Trump to start a war nobody wants that causes huge gas price spikes when it hurts their base the most… months before an election where their jobs are on the line.

The spikes in gas prices and health insurance premiums are doing more than any presidential debates have done in the past decade. Consequences are needed to get the attention of conservatives and moderates. Unfortunately, most MAGA supports are far too brainwashed.
Mississippi, Wyoming, Arkansas, and Alabama
So once again, these complete dumbasses voted against their own interests with a consistency, and somehow are NOW unhappy about all that…?
Remember when gas prices spiked after Russia invaded Ukraine? Biden’s fault. But when Trump invades Iran and gas prices spike? Also Biden’s fault!
