Seems rather high, give the fact that wholesale unleaded reg is only about $1.48 per gallon. CA must have some serious tax on top of the $0.18 Fed tax.

Price here in Stoughton, MA for Mutual (fermented bilge water) is 1.97 with $0.44 for Fed/State tax.

 

A quick check of the internet says that California pays 48 cents in combined fed+state taxes. The remainder of the price difference is probably due to the overall high cost of industrial businesses in California due to regulation.

 

Hmm, I do like FREE!

 

I find in some areas prices range quite a bit! In a town called Benson, my wife and I stopped for food and gas. Fuel at that time was $2.79/gal. No way! We just left Willcox 30 miles ago, where it was $2.49/gal. So we ate and decided to fill up in Tucson 30 miles further up the road. The first gas station we came to in Tucson was $2.29/gal. Only 30 miles outside of Tucson, fuel was 50 cents more per gallon!?

 

I have seen that crazy stuff before on the I-10 in AZ.

Once a few years ago, gas was $1.65 at an interstate truck stop about 30-35 miles south of Phoenix, and $1.92 in Phoenix the same day at the location where I normally bought gas.

I have NO 'splanation for that idiocy !!!

 

I was just thinking, if I did fill up in Benson as planned, I would have paid around an extra $5-6! I think I needed about 10-12 gallons at the time.

 

Inside the Atlanta City area: $2.12
Outside the Atlanta City area: $1.96

Funny how some non-hybrid owners think we're dissappointed at the lower cost of fuel.
BTW
Fuel cost DOES continue to rise at an extremely high rate.
When I bought my car almost exactly 2 years ago gas was about 75 cents less per gallon.

I hope I'm wrong- but judging from pre-Katrina rates of increase don't expect sub $2.00 rates to last long. The price per barrel hasn't changed much.

 

It's still expensive where I live: $2.75 for regular last time I filled up a few weeks ago. (Gainesville, FL)
