Motorists who lived on the West Coast, Rockies and Southeastern U.S. all generally required more labor hours than motorists in the Northeast, with those in Massachusetts working just 67 hours per year to pay their yearly gasoline bill, GasBuddy determined.
The difference between the work hours per year in Nevada and Massachusetts amounted to nearly an entire work week every year.
Patrick DeHaan, the head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said that while it feels nice to see the gas prices go down, he wanted to see the difference of how much labor motorists were putting in different states.
“This study was an interesting reminder that how much time one spends to pay for gasoline varies drastically and that motorists can lessen the burden by locating low priced stations,” DeHaan said.
