(NEXSTAR) – It’s certainly not cheap to keep your car on the road. There’s gas, insurance, car maintenance, and so much more. But depending on where you’re located in the U.S., you may be able to save some cash on your typical vehicular fees.
To determine this, MoneyGeek did some research and looked into several different cost factors including gas prices, annual toll costs, annual maintenance costs, and the cheapest auto insurance prices in each state.

Based on these factors, each state was given a final cost score from 0-100, with 0 being the most expensive state and 100 being the cheapest.
Landing at No. 1 was Maryland, which was given a score of 0 out of 100, making it the most expensive state to drive by a wide margin – outside of No. 2 Oregon, which was given a score of 1.6.
For drivers in Maryland, annual repair costs are typically about $399, while the average cost for the cheapest full-coverage car insurance per year is roughly $1,191.
