yeah... about a month ago it was 2.30+ (outside the bronx), that's the worst for regular I've ever seen.

[??????????]

Florida is not at 2.09 by any means. We are about 1.75 right now. We have a .08$ tax break for the month of August on all fuels. The state threatened to shut down stations that did not comply.

[Lunar]

California is probably around $2.30-$2.40 around San Francisco (despite the infrastructure and density making it cheaper to get it there) and around $2.10 where I live, out in the middle of nowhere.

[??????????]

JEB Bush wanted a .10 cent a gallon tax break for the months of June - August but the Democrats raised hell about cutting taxes and giving us a break, big suprise there.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

it's $1.80 here, but we usually have close to the lowest gas prices in the state.

[Firefly]

I'm not sure what regular unleaded is right now, but 93 octane is ~$1.90/gallon.

I was in Wisconsin two weekends ago to visit family and I noticed a $.30 per gallon price difference from Minnesota to Wisconsin. I asked around about the high gasoline prices and I got this:

The state of Wisconsin has a flat license tab renewal rate of around $50 for any automobile. Minnesota, on the other hand, license tab renewal is set at $189 for the renewal and then subsequently the renewal rate is $99 plus any other tax. To make up for this revenue lost, the state of Wisconsin has enacted a 13.1-cent gas tax (not including the Federal rate of 18.4 cents).

Wisconsin, in addition to the above average gas tax, has a type of reformulated that is not easy to produce and the adds to the price per gallon.

Given the huge demand for oil in India and China and domestic problem with Russia and Venezuela, I have doubts that the price of gas in Wisconsin will fall below $2.00 per gallon.

Where do you get those gas price numbers? Are those the current gas price average or the record high for the year?

I paid 1.83/gallon and I live in the northern tier suburbs of the Twin Cities.

Wisconsin, in addition to the above average gas tax, has a type of reformulated that is not easy to produce and the adds to the price per gallon.

This single best thing that the Federal government could do to control price is to enact a single standard for reformulated gasoline in the non-attainment areas. The market is strangled by the inability to transport gasoline from an area of supply to one of demand.

We had a spike in IL a few summers ago when the combination of a pipeline problem and refinery problem deeply cut the capacity to make the special formula required in the Chicago metro area. I could drive 20 miles west to save 40 cents/gal by leaving the non-attainment area. If gas could be moved more easily between regions the price effects would have been much less.

California is probably around $2.30-$2.40 around San Francisco (despite the infrastructure and density making it cheaper to get it there) and around $2.10 where I live, out in the middle of nowhere.

Odd. In Germany it tends to be slightly cheaper in the cities.

People in the cities have more money.

Logically speaking, it should be more expensive in the rural areas because it costs more for transportation and you sell less than in the city, so you need a higher profit margin.  However, the free market doesn't work with oil prices.

There's another reason: the next competitor is further away, so you should be able to get away with a higher profit margin.
It doesn't make any sense at all. Maybe there's some big tax break for rural gas stations or something.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Here in Minnesota, gas is usually cheapest in Scott county, as much as I hate that place it has the cheapest gas prices, right on the fringe of the metro area. The Twin Cities are usually more expensive than in my city, and the areas between here and Scott tend to have prices between my city and the Twin Cities.

My city isn't really that far from the Twin Cities though, so the rural areas between here and the metro aren't very isolated. Someone living in the middle wouldn't have less than an hour's drive in either direction to reach civilization.

In many areas the cities are non-attainment areas, that is they fail certain criteria of the Clean Air Act. This forces gas stations in those areas to sell only special blends to generate less pollutants. Rural areas rarely have enough air pollutants to become non-attainment areas, so those stations can sell any blend.

[nomorelies]

The gas prices are the records recorded. Wisconsin is very high considering the prices of Minnesota and Iowa that are much lower than us.

I get pretty cheesed off seeing the price of gas in Texas considering how much money they make down their. Also i think its about time that Hawaii protested the price of gas.

That should influence prices, yes.
Lower land prices in the country might be another factor.

Surprisingly enough, our gas dropped 2 cents over the weekend.  Maybe they are still selling gas which they bought at a cheaper rate before the world price rose again.

[nomorelies]

modu have you noticed from my list of gas prices that Republcan states that Bush won in 2000 bar Alaska pay far less than the democrat states.

[MODU]

And if you think that the government has something to do with that, you are losing it.

VA is cheaper than others since the Commonwealth taxes us in many other ways that our gas tax is low.  California is high due to their strict emmissions limits and gas grades.

Don't even try to make it out as a political thing.

[minionofmidas]

There might be some sort of hidden relationship between a people's willingness to pay more for gas and their willingness to vote for a Democratic presidential candidate, which influences state tax structures.

[nomorelies]

California cares about the environment. They realise that the air pollution in Los Angelos has to be stopped.

While Houston keeps polluting the city. Gas prices are incredible low in the state when the avergae income is higher than the majority of states.

America is the worlds worst polluntants. Virginia is a poorer state than Texas and 1.95 is fiar for Virginia compared to other states. But Texas pays around 1.80 which is unacceptable for the amount of pollution that the state has.

Good on California in trying to reduce pollution.
