Gas prices remained steady for most of the country on Friday. The national average price for regular gas is $3.199 per gallon. 

Yet while the national average has not changed much, fuel costs have soared on the West Coast in recent weeks. Statewide averages for gas prices in California, Oregon, and Washington have increased over the last month. Prices in those states remain much higher than the national average, with fuel costs over a $4.20 per-gallon price point in each state.
