It's $2.56 a gallon here. As for the varience in prices, it has to do with how close you are to an refinery. The further away, the more expensive it is. Transportation costs. Then there are the traveling holidays. Those times when more people are likely to travel by car than normal days. Making money based on opportunity. Bulk buying also has an effect on costs with discounts going to your biggest customer. Just some thoughts. :)

And here's the irony:
California rivals Texas in oil production and yet we pay some of the highest overall prices in the nation.

We used to pay a higher price because of the MBTE reformulation, but that was cancelled years ago because of the carcinogens that were present in the fuel mixture, resulting in contamination of ground water. And yet we still pay the "fee" for the MBTE after all these years...

I just paid $3.29 a gallon at my usual place, but it's $3.99 a gallon up by the Interstate (premuim is more, and Deisel just took a .10 cent jump)...
 
I had a clapped out old Merc when working in Saudi, cost me on average $3,00 to fill the tank. The were the days.

:hotsun: :hotsun:
 
Filled up the Buick yesterday (Sunday) and it was $2.69 at the Wa-wa. Shell is always .06 or .08 cents higher.
