Personal finance website WalletHub has released its 2021 Best and the Worst States to Drive-In report on Tuesday.

To identify the states with the most positive driving experiences, WalletHub compared all 50 states across 31 key indicators, including average gas prices to rush-hour traffic congestion to road quality.

Indiana was ranked as the 2nd best driving state in the U.S., just behind Texas, and Texas was ranked the 6th best state to drive in according to the study.

Among the worst states are Hawaii, California, Washington, Maryland, and Delaware.

According to WalletHub, road congestion cost U.S. drivers $88 billion in 2019, as well as an average of 99 hours of their time.

The COVID-19 pandemic has cut down on congestion in 2020. As of October, cumulative travel was approximately 380 billion vehicle miles fewer than a year prior.
