I always wondered why gas prices are cheaper or more expensive in different parts of the country. In New Jersey you can get gas right now for 3.17$ but i read in Hawaii for regular it is still over 4.00 and in Califorina it is very high to. Can someone explain why gas prices vary throughout the country?
I wonder why my gas is still $3.55 a gallon with oil under 90 per barrell. At those levels gas should be around $2.90 per gallon.
I dont want to hear the bullshit about speculation, buying the oil before it dropped and all that crap.
If that were true wouldnt it take a week or two for prices to go up at the pump when oil takes a big hike.

different states require different blends
standards higher in cali due to smog problems
winter gas is cheaper than summer gas also....as summer gas nationwide has higher standards
also state taxes play a roll
like missouri's state sales tax's on everything from smokes, gas etc....have always been low...and saint louis gas prices typically near the lowest

that's also a factor but likely a minimal one
there are other variables in the equation
and many others than i stated
like out east they get their gas from ports in the east, down south it comes form the gulf etc....
so like when ike hit the south had issues but the east didn't

cities have taxes too
i'd gather to guess houston is higher than dallas....houston is considered more liberal right? almost sure....so higher tax rates almost a given.....
like downtown chicago gas prices vs. the suburbs discrepancy is insanity and its mainly all about ze taxes
just like a pack of smokes cost you a ton more in downtown chicago than the suburbs
if every american sat down and calculated how much in taxes they pay every year
the 2nd american revolution would soon follow
from property taxes, to sales taxes, to income taxes, to parking tickets, to 9/11 security fees on airline tickets, you can make a huge list....

It is over 60%. Don't forget the nastiest tax of all, the hidden tax of inflation.
