WalletHub Analyst Chip Lupo had this to say about the rankings:

Owning a car can really squeeze your wallet if you’re not in the right location. 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

The state that is actually the best for drivers is Kansas. Apparently being flat and not really having much in your state makes it a good state for drivers. Just kidding, Kansas. You can check out the full rankings on the list at the link provided here.

Be safe on the roads out there, Massachusetts!
