When analyzing fuel prices you should take into account state taxes. There is a spread of 50 cents per gallon between the lowest and highest state for gasoline and 65 cents for diesel. I save 36 cents on diesel by crossing a state line near me.

They are still getting the product from much closer
Yep. But there are other factors in play (state taxes). There are towns in AZ and NM less than 40 miles apart and I’ve seen the same western refining tank trucks filling stations in both states, yet the AZ fuel is .50 higher.

Well of course taxes are a factor. However, the places we live have roughly the same on fuel (pretty low, actually). Just costs more to sent it north and the cost of having a station in a particular area is significantly different

re: When analyzing fuel prices you should take into account state taxes.

here in Ontario, the price at the pump includes ALL taxes(province,federal, carbon ) makes it easy to compare station to station for a 'deal'....
If I could get to Buffalo, I'd by my gas/diesel 'south of the 49th' as it's cheaper...
