Forget $5 a gallon. In Alaska, you could be paying more than $6 a gallon. It's already happening at a handful of gas stations in one town.
Alaska may be one of the country's biggest oil-producing states, but it doesn't appear to be helping with gas prices. GasBuddy.com, a gas-price-tracking site that depends on readers' reports, finds Alaska to be the second-most-expensive state overall for gas prices after Hawaii. California is third.
The four most-expensive stations in Alaska are all in one town, Bethel. At Nicholson's Auto or Northstar Gas, you'll pay $6.34 a gallon, the website says. Next comes $6.33 a gallon at the Quick Food Center, and $6.13 in Crowley.
