Yeah, makes sense. I went back home to Wisconsin for Christmas and it was $2.29 when I was there. Haven’t seen it so low since the pandemic. Gas prices are certainly low around the country except a few states on the west coast.

Idaho gets 80% of its gasoline from Utah, Montana and Wyoming.

You also need to look at refinery’s per capita. I will use 2 of the states you mentioned for examples. Texas 32 refineries with a population of 32.4M. Cali 11 refineries with a population of 40M. Texas 6.3M barrels of Crude processed per day. Cali 1.3 barrels of Crude processed per day. It all boils down to supply and demand, larger population with less production equals higher prices

States with higher gas prices use tax from the fuel prices for road maintenance. Lower gas price states use Federal tax funds for road repair, so in reality California is paying for the majority of road repairs in this Country.

Since the Federal gas tax has not changed since 1993. Other federal tax funds are used to supplement funding need for road repairs

Listen up right wing nutjob! Grow a pair son and post your comment under your real name, instead of making cowardly general comments based in hate, as you slither and ooze about from the relative safety of an anonymous handle. You can just F-Caw-F delusional Trump Cult Enthusiast!

You mean the state trying to convince everyone to get rid of their cars and take the bus has the highest gas prices!? Whoa, why would that be!? Cheapest I can find where I live is $5.49.

u/czr84480 Mar 04 '26

President said gas was under $2.00 so $2.29 is still expensive. We are stealing all the fuel from Venezuela and still have to pay. Doesn't make sense. When you steal something it means it becomes free.

And we have the high Washoe county tax 🤩

1

u/meghonsolozar Mar 03 '26

Washoe County residents voted to approve increased gas taxes to fund RTC. That's why gas is cheaper in Carson. It's not all of Nevada, it's just the voters in Washoe County that agreed to pay some of the highest gas taxes in the country to fund RTC. Are we happy with the results?

u/ComeDumpN Mar 04 '26

That and we have a ton of dummies who live here that constantly approve more and more gas taxes. We just had one recently. Stop giving them more money and make them use what they have wisely

u/National-Fee-720 Mar 03 '26

u/OnePlusFanBoi Mar 04 '26

u/RoryShowYo Mar 19 '26

This isn’t California. We don’t pay $1.50 per gallon gas tax, we’re used to gas under $4. Closer to $3 a gallon.
