All prices are arbitrary, regardless of what you are buying.
Oregon lacks a sales tax. Our sales tax is included in the price. Which means that the true cost per gallon is $3.70 in Humboldt County. The difference in the state excise fuel tax between California and Oregon is $.20 cents which would put the costs almost the same for the actual fuel being pumped!
Richard, almost 20 of those 50 cents can be attributed to taxes. Maybe a few more cents to produce gas that meets CARB standards. The rest can probably be chalked up to distribution costs and the profit margins for those distributors.
Yesterday I saw that the Trinidad Chevron had raised their price of regular to $4.09 9/10 a gallon. In Mack Town the 76 on Murry Rd. had the same price. When I got to Eureka though all prices were still less than $4 per gallon. Today Trinidad lowered it's price back to $4.02 9/10. I didn't see if Mack Town followed. Talk about arbitrary prices, I think I just witnesses a bluff that was called.
I'm telling you...It's worth it to drive to Willits to fill up and drive back. Ha!
California gas is also formulated differently and has MTBE added (still?). That means production is limited and we can't just import gas from out of state.
MTBE is not added anymore. Why that additional cost was not taken off is a mystery.

California required refineries to convert to MTBE gasoline. It cost the refineries billions of dollars to convert. As soon as they figured out that MTBEs caused cancer they had to convert back, so we are paying for both conversions.
The rest of the U.S. lets California break the trail for them. It does not pay to be a pioneer. If you follow history, there are many dead pioneers buried along the trails. We are just one more casualty.
Just to add to the amazement Richard, where I am living now in Salem, Oregon the gas is currently $3.43 at our local Costco. Awesome huh.
If media pounded Bohn with questions about working 20 years as the PR face and voice excusing the highest gas prices in the nation...he'd still be home wondering why $125,000 wasn't enough to win a rural city council seat paying $500/month!
Corrupt politics rely on a quiet press.
