Could it be high taxes? One of the ways that politicians try to get people
to use mass transit is to ding the drivers. To be fair, most of the stations
in my area charge 2.25. This one happens to be a deep discounter and there
is a major-major refinery 20 miles north. In New York City, gas is always
about 50 cents higher. And coupled with this, in NJ you can not legally pump
your own gas - an attendant must do it for you. Makes no sense that gas is
50 cents higher in NYC and you have to do it yourself. But, you are also
correct that it makes no sense especially when one considers that California
pumps its own oil out of its own wells. Seems that the lack of
transportation costs from the Middle East would lead to lower prices.
Kinda reminds me of airline prices where there is a great disparity between
prices charged on the same flight dependent upon when the ticket is
purchased-the person sitting next to you could be paying hundreds more or
less. Worse than used car dealers.

This make no sense at all. Out in California we are paying $3.29 for
regular and 3.69 for the premium

30 miles south of New York City. That is the cash price. If you want to use
a credit or debit card, the price goes up to $2.02. Eat your hearts out!
