Wonder why gas is 3.55 in western NY?


You could drive over to Canada where gas is $109.80 (or thereabouts) per
gallon or drive to Texas where it's $3.05.

The difference is taxes.


Taxes account for much of it but not all. A large contribution is the
cost of transportation to those parts of the country who want the
cheap gas but don't want anything to do with refining in their own
back yards.
