If you do a lot of driving, you might want to consider relocating to Iowa.
That’s according to a new report from WalletHub, which found the best states for driving in 2022. Iowa was at the top of the list. Hawaii was at the bottom of the list.
For its report, the personal finance website compared all 50 U.S. states based on 31 measurements within four categories: cost of ownership and maintenance; traffic and infrastructure; safety; and access to vehicles and maintenance.

Meanwhile, Oregon has the highest auto maintenance costs and California has the highest percentage of rush hour traffic congestion.
