GAS STATIONS
Retail gas prices tend to be higher the farther gas is sold from the source of supply. These supply sources include refineries, ports, and pipeline and blending terminals. Transportation costs also increase based on the distance from the source of gas supply.The national average price of a gallon of regular gas is a seven-year low, as only six states have an average price above $2 a gallon.
Pump prices are often highest in locations with few gas stations. Even stations located close together may have different traffic patterns, rent, and sources of supply that influence pricing.
Some areas of the country are required to use special reformulated gas that includes additives to help reduce carbon monoxide, smog, and toxic air pollutants that result when gas is burned or when gas evaporates during fueling.
Although gas prices vary over time, they are often higher in certain states or regions. In addition to taxes, there are other factors that contribute to regional differences in gas prices.
