Why is it that the price of gas can vary so much from one place to another? We just returned from our summer travel to visit one set of parents. This summer it was my family in Minnesota. We had a great week catching up with family and friends. Since we were driving all over the Twin Cities, we noticed the price of gas, and everywhere we drove, gas was cheap compared with what we've been paying here.
I thought perhaps the price would be lower when we returned home, but no such luck. We are currently paying $2.57 a gallon for 85 Octane. When we were in Minnesota we saw gas for $2.18 a gallon for 87 Octane. I don't understand the difference in the lowest level of Octane available in states and I really don't understand the difference in price. If we wanted the same quality of gas here, we would have to pay $2.67 a gallon.
What is everyone else paying around the US? I'm lead to believe we are on the higher end of gas prices for a lower quality of gas. That really stinks!

Out here in the DC area, we're paying the same as you guys. The rest of Virginia is cheaper, but we're right there with ya!
Gas was $2.14 in Independence, when I was helping Julia with her move. It had been higher here, but dropped to $2.18! Before I took the time to fill up, it jumped up to $2.23. Not unusual for it to be higher here during the summer/tourist season.
