  • Gas in Arizona is $3.39 a gallon. In Los Angeles when I filled up today in order to come to Arizona was $4.79 a gallon. Arizona hasn't experienced inflation it seems. Or California is gouging its residents.

      Is that news to you? California has charged wicked high gas taxes for decades, consistently driving up the cost of gas by $1.00-1.50/gal, which in turn makes it more expensive for every other product/service transported over the road through CA. One of the many reasons I have ZERO desire to ever live in the state.

      Every time I make a road trip, I always check which state(s) has cheaper gas -- as soon as you cross the border, it's not at all uncommon to see dramatically different gas prices, due mostly in part to the different gas taxes charged by the state.

      • Yes kork, I couldn't believe my eyes seeing Arizona's gas is so cheap at $3.39 a gallon. California is a rip off a $4.79 a gallon. I can see how California causes inflation everywhere else with its ridicuously high gas prices.

        • NJ is around $3.30/gallon also right now. We tend to have one of the lowest prices in the country.

          • Upstate NY seems to be around $3.49/gal though there's a station near me at $3.35/gal.

            • Kork you're right this is in Laughlin, NV Chevron $4.59 which is across the Colorado River from Bullhead City, Arizona where gas is $3.39 (where I'm lodging). Tri-state area where California is just a little further south at $4.79.
