Even if you live in the most beautiful place in the world, heavy traffic and high gas prices can ruin the experience. One of the downsides of cities with attractive features is that they inevitably draw a crowd. On top of that, some of the most popular cities in America also carry the burden of high gas prices. When those factors are combined, quality of life in these places takes a hit.
GOBankingRates recently did a survey to determine the best cities in terms of traffic and gas prices by analyzing mean Commute Times in minutes sourced from the American Consumer Survey in U.S. Census, the average gas prices sourced from Gas Buddy, and the total population sourced from American Consumer Survey in U.S. Census in the largest 200 cities in the U.S. by population.
If you’re fed up with either or both of these modern burdens, take a look at this list of cities with the lowest gas prices and the least amount of traffic since owning a car can be expensive enough.
