The Best and Worst Counties to Buy Gas in Indiana

Are you in one of the best or worst counties in Indiana to buy gas?

It's no secret that gas prices are a little higher now than they have been. In fact, the national average for unleaded gas as of this writing is $3.210, according to AAA. Indiana's average price per gallon as of August 29th is $3.333. So, we have higher gas prices than the national average. Yikes! Oh, and there are some counties that are at nearly $3.50 per gallon! Needless to say, with those prices, filling up your tank is nearly impossible for some, as it would simply cost too much. We've all been feeling the sting of gas prices every time we fill up our tanks. Granted, prices aren't over $5 like they were a few years ago...but they are still pretty high, especially for those who drive gas-guzzling vehicles.
