Hi, Anna.
Glad to be back.
That's a great question, and I'm going to answer it with a quick story.
So I live in Chicago, but I spent the July 4th weekend with my sister-in-law's family in southern Indiana.
And on the drive back, we watched those gas prices tick up the closer we got to the Illinois border.
And we filled up near Gary, Indiana, and a ton of cars were there with Illinois plates.
And when we were in Chicago, gas prices were like a dollar more expensive per gallon.
And that's usually how this story goes, right?
People talk about where they saw the craziest, highest prices.
But that's actually just the start of the story.
Think about your credit card bill or your bank statement the last time you bought gas.
You will not see the price of gas anywhere on that.
Right.
So if we all bought the same amount, let's say five gallons a week, then knowing the price might be all we need to know.
But we don't all buy the same amount.
That's the missing piece of the puzzle here.
How much people consume.
Total spending is really what matters to our budgets.
So we estimated what that average consumption level looks like in different states by looking at a variety of data.
For example, the types of cars you drive and the average fuel efficiency of those cars and how many highway miles versus city miles people put on.
