That is why simply looking at taxes doesn't tell the whole story when it comes to cost-of-living.

I don’t know how it all works or whether some states just have insanely high gas taxes or not, but I travel a good bit for work, and I can safely say that central/north MS consistently have some of the best gas prices that you can find anywhere. Desoto county in particular seems to always be really favorable

There are no refineries in Florida. We have a big one in Pascagoula and 3 smaller ones in the state, and Louisiana has a lot of refineries. Lower transportation costs = lower prices.

Has anyone ever thought it does?

State gas tax variances

https://www.google.com/search?q=gas...AgEEAE&biw=1333&bih=670#imgrc=nGXWHAH02_6RcM:

You can find it there.

Fed Gas tax is .18ish.
MS Gas tax is .18ish.

In MS, tax accounts for roughly 0.37.

Alabama has a blanket state tax and also certain districts also tax gas. So there is variance all across Alabama by county. Alabama also just increased their state gas tax which should go in effect on 8/1/19

$3.09 in Louisville, KY
Kentucky routinely has some of the most expensive gas in the country for some reason.

Got my gas in Lexington, KY, and it was $2.37. It really isn't that expensive here.

Been exposed to Logistics for 40 years, we do have a large port, so another 3-4 cents a gallon for transportation.........

Are you claiming gas prices are tied to supply and demand?

Was in Alpine, CA a couple weeks ago, where you could get a gallon of regular unleaded for $4.79.

Not all lefties out here. Unfortunately, it is the majority of the population for California thanks to the large cities that swing left. Gas is currently sitting around $3.70 in Temecula, CA. California gas tax just rose to $0.473 per gal.

Truck runs on Dale's! Good dale's mileage and no mole crickets.

Slight hijack but perhaps the greatest oc scam of all-time was the gas tax scam Michael Franzese ran.

I would have thought some of these Debbie Downers would have realized it meant Left Laners........

The blanket primaries there will insure that the tax-and-spend politicians will only increase the taxes so that only the rich can afford to drive anywhere.

Was in Jackson Hole, Wy/Idaho/Montana area last month. Gas was no cheaper than 3.15-3.30 a gallon. At least a $1.00-1.50 more per gallon than North MS.

A litre, eh? You wouldn't happen to be in the great north now would you?

 

[RocketDawg]

Probably costs a lot just to get gas to such out of the way places.

There's one Texaco station here that has regular for $2.499 and premium for $3.659. I doubt they sell much premium with that sort of differential.

Depends on who's asking...are you with the RCMP?
