But the state still has the second-lowest average among all states, according to travel-services agency AAA. (Missouri is the lowest with an unleaded average of $1.68)  The national average is $1.89.

I always laugh when I read about Utah's supposedly low gas prices. Regular gas in most of Utah is 85 octane. In most of the US, regular is 87 octane. Thus, an accurate comparison must include Utah mid-grade (which is 87 octane gas to regular gas in most of the US. In that scenario, Utah isn't so cheap. Gotta compare apples-to-apples and oranges-to-oranges but not apples-to-oranges...
