I keep hearing about $4+ gas in California and I’m wondering how gas prices can be so different around the States. In nearby Denver, my gas buddy site shows lots of stations charging about 2.92, and the highest price, at the airport, is 3.35.
Is gas really 25% cheaper in Denver than in LA?
I am in NYC area and paid 4 yesterday.
I filled up my tank this past Friday, here in Indiana, for $3.17/gallon. On Saturday, the price rose sharply to 3.47. It may have been $3.57 in some places here.
There is a disparity throughout the nation; it depends on many things, one of which is from where your region's gasoline is distributed.
CA gas is “special”.
It’s a “one of a kind” formulation and there are only so few refineries in CA that make it.
