For the average driver, every tank of gas burned costs $18.42 in hidden health and climate costs. Relying almost exclusively on oil for transportation hurts our air, our health, and our environment. As of 2015, those costs are: California: $15 billion. Maryland: $2.6 Connecticut: $1.4 Oregon: $1.3 Maine: $513 million.
