It depends on how close you are to the refineries and pipelines. What they’re listing is the average which includes the highest price in the country and the lowest price in the country.
It really doesn’t matter how close the refineries you are. Salt lake City has two refineries within the city limits and our prices are still higher than some of the rural areas that I travel to. It makes no sense and any explanation I’ve received is pretty much just idiotic in my opinion most of it they’re saying that they produce the gas to sell to other places not just to here because they can get higher prices which again idiotic. But whatever it’s all just a racket no matter what.
Oh yeah I forgot to add that cities tend to tag on extra taxes. That’s why it’s often more expensive to get the gas inside of a city and then it is in the suburbs or outlying counties.
