Honolulu, Hawaii.

Nuff said.

 

NOTE: I've seen some other pix of prices slightly higher than this from other parts of the country. I have to say I was surprised, but on some of the neighbor islands in Hawaii, gas is well over $3.90/gallon, so we probably still have the highest prices in the nation. Yet another perk of living in "paradise".
