[gfekydku] Average distance to another state

What is the average distance a resident of a state must drive to get to another state, averaged over actual population density?  Excluding Alaska and Hawaii, I suspect California is high because population is concentrated on the coast.  Texas.

The motivation is from considering a state imposing gasoline tax to decrease global warming: need to avoid residents driving to another state to avoid the tax.

Are there good pairs of states?
