...across the river from Philly. The price for a gallon of regular here is $3.29. I travel often to an office in Los Angeles for work. Last I was there gas was close to $4.40. The military exchange price was about $4. The car I keep in CA gets driven about 400 miles a year so I buy gas about every other month.

It's been my experience that differences in price are mostly due to taxes and the distance from the refinery to the point of sale.
