All over the map here anywhere from $3.85 to $4.45 for regular…

Best I saw today was $4.03 for regular.
Here in the welfare state Abaduly is charging $4.14 - $4.45 for reg gasolina. To drop .18 cents in July from removing the fuel tax . And ya know it will get made up some how else . Government Head Games :gah:
$3.60 just across the border in Maryland today... Gov. Adolf Wolfe here in PA is not cutting us any slack.
Curious by the framing, I could find no association with Nazism and Pennsylvanian Governor Tom Wolfe, nor a policy position connecting the Governor to national/world gas price trends. Pennsylvania has the highest State imposed gas tax at 57.6 cents per gallon- imposed by the State legislature, not the Governor's office. See the map below for what party controls that legislature - you may be surprised.
I wondered if I could find a correlation between fuel prices and demographics- either state population or party State House control. A few resources I tapped:
Tripple A's convenient one-stop for checking the daily average gas price by State and Nationally, all on one page:

Prices remain highest West of the Rockies, with a national average of $4.116.
Here's AAA's gas price map for 4/10/2022- dark blue = lowest, dark red = highest, white = middle of the road:

Looking at these metrics, I can't see any clear indication of a price connection to political control or population density. I thought I would see higher prices connected to use taxes in areas with large populations and heavy road use - but there are plenty of states that defy that intuition. Likewise, there is no obvious connection between party control and prices; it seems that mechanics other than politics are dictating fuel prices.
Unsatisfied, I reviewed the cost map again; their seems clearly to be a geographic element connecting the lower priced zoned centered on the middle of the country. The price wall aligned with the Rockies pointed to transportation costs- which led me to look at where gas is refined and refining capacity. Here's an illustration:

Adding this last to all these considerations, the a primary correlation with price seems to be transportation and refining capacity, and post refinement transportation. Within this zone of lower cost, Illinois stands out as stark anomaly. What it ain't is simple, defying my desire for a unifying answer applicable to every local. I reckon really understanding why-this-price-hear is a confluence of all these elements- population, geography, local goals and policy, politics, funding mechanisms, proximity to production -and more.
Short and sweet..There’s no rime or reason…
Of course people wouldn't buy it if they didn't need it. If you're working and live in any outlying areas you're gonna pay the price.
