      Is this a reflection of gas prices being high or milk being cheaper in these states?

    2. Would be helpful to know the gas and milk prices by state.

      I suspect the Midwest states have cheap milk and California has expensive gas.

    3. Michigan is because of the taxes we pay for our gas. They keep upping them and Roads are still shut

      Here is a bit more of a breakdown on how much more gas costs than milk per gallon in each red state on the map (on average)-

      California: $0.10

      Indiana: $0.56

      Michigan: $0.43

      Ohio: $0.32

    5. It’s not crazy to me that milk would be cheaper than something that has to be drilled from deep inside the earth and then processed before it’s usable…

      My dairy on the other hand just milks some cows wandering their field, runs it through a tank on site and it’s bottled within a few hours.

      I feel like we’re pretty damn close in Florida. I got milk for right at $3 yesterday, and gas is like 2.80

    7. Looks like I can get a gallon of 2% milk in Cincinnati for 2.49. Gas has been hovering around 2.75 for regular, and $4 for premium.

    8. No way washington state is that way unless the rural areas significantly bring down the average for gas. but thats the best part of data like this. some things shock you and make you think

    9. ? A gallon of milk where I live (south FL) is $2. Gas is $2.80-something per gallon. I have family living across the state and gas is similarly priced

    10. Graph is wrong because gas costs more in Illinois than milk. Milk is $2.10 and gas is between $2.45 in the rural country and $2.70 in a city.
