With some of the shortest commutes and friendliest people, Oklahoma’s roads are cruising to the front of the pack.
In a recent WalletHub study, Oklahoma ranked as the 5th best state to drive. Low costs of ownership, from fuel prices to insurance rates, make the Sooner State a wallet-friendly option for commuters. Oklahoma also scores well for its low traffic congestion, meaning drivers can enjoy an easier ride without the headaches of gridlock.
“Owning a car can really squeeze your wallet if you’re not in the right location,” Chip Lupo, WalletHub analyst, said. “On top of having pricey gas, maintenance and insurance expenses, some states can hurt you even more financially with excessive traffic congestion, which wastes both your fuel and your productivity. The best states to drive in are ones that are relatively rural, with smaller populations, a low cost of living, well-maintained roads and safe motorists.”
