The study was based on these four factors: Cost of Ownership &amp; Maintenance, Traffic &amp; Infrastructure, Safety, and Access to Vehicles &amp; Maintenance. The sub-categories include congestion, road quality, and gas prices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Among states with the highest gas prices, Washington comes in 4th. That&#8217;s behind Alaska, California, and Hawaii.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Washington collects another irksome 4th place in car thefts, ranking only behind Nevada, California and New Mexico.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">But the Evergreen State isn&#8217;t dead last. That honor goes further west to the Aloha State, where Hawaii has historically high gas prices and car repairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">So where should you move for a smoother commute? That&#8217;s the Lone Star State, where Texans enjoy low gas prices, more car dealerships, and plenty of horse power. Yeehaw.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\">Source:-\u00a0http:\/\/www.king5.com\/article\/news\/local\/washington-ranked-2nd-worst-state-for-driving\/281-511324078<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/travel\/washington-ranked-2nd-worst-state-driving.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington ranked 2nd worst state for driving Let&#8217;s start by reflecting on Washington&#8217;s natural beauty: majestic mountains, stunning coastline, and forests that inspired a nickname like &#8220;The Evergreen State.&#8221; But there&#8217;s an ugly side that has many seeing red: our roads.
