Wyoming had the lowest gas prices at roughly, $3.032 a gallon.  This could effect the American economy ,which is mostly consumer spending based . Oil prices have been driven higher by political unrest in North Africa and the Middle East, where much of the world's oil comes from. Despite the surge in prices this week, the amount of oil that has been taken off the world market has been relatively minimal.
