California is no longer the state with the highest gas prices in the nation, having been dethroned by another West Coast state: Washington.

A gallon of regular gas costs an average of $4.658 on Monday, September 15, up from $4.459 a week earlier, $4.407 a month earlier, and $4.150 a year earlier, according to the latest data from the American Automobile Association (AAA). In the counties of San Juan and Pacific, a gallon costs over $5.

"You are literally the only state that is above where it was one year ago," Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in a recent statement to The Center Square.

By comparison, a gallon of regular gas costs an average of $4.653 in the Golden State, up from $4.624 from a week earlier and $4.492 from a month earlier, but down from $4.770 a year earlier. Despite being dethroned—with Washington's prices surpassing California's on Sunday, September 14—, California still had the second-highest gas prices in the country.

Let's Lose this one for the Gipper.
