Yeah we can definitely see at least a dollar a gallon disparity there however state gas taxes are all very high and add a big chunk to that X dollars per gallon mark. And like was previously stated prices get pumped up just to deliver the stuff and of course not to mention the big "pat on the back" profit to the oil companies who own it.
