I think its fair to say that the cost difference in gasoline between NC, MD, IL and CA is the amount of tax we pay on a gallon, not in the cost to get it out of the ground, refine it and get it to the station. The latter would likely only apply to the forum member hailing from HI (and that does cost a lot there).

State fuel taxes range from 26c in Alaska up to 70c in NY. That doesn’t explain the entirety of the price differential. The cost of refining in CA is higher due more restrictive pollution regulation. Location also affects pricing based on access (or lack of access) to marine terminals or pipelines.

Quick check shows the state with the highest gas tax is PA at .77 a gallon, average price of gas 2.70. CA gas tax .66 a gallon. average price of gas 4.10. Things that make you go Hmmmm.
