People all around the world are complaining about gas prices right now, but across the entire U.S., there’s only one county that has it worse than Humboldt.

The average price for a gallon of gas in Humboldt is $5.806, just a little less than Mono County, where gas is going for $5.947, according to data from the American Automobile Association. Humboldt and Mono counties are currently the most expensive counties for gasoline in the whole country. The average price nationwide is $3.539; statewide, it’s $5.290. 

Good thing the average commute here is less than 19 minutes long.
