Can not read this article from the EU.. But the headline amounts to ~ 0,24€ per liter.

The only real meat from the article: The states on that list include New York, Michigan, Arkansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Ohio, Colorado, Missouri, Iowa, Virginia, Wisconsin, Kansas and Kentucky. Keep in mind though that prices are not in any way shape or form set at the state level. This could just mean that one small region of the state has that price while the major metro areas where 95% of the states population live are 250% higher still.

  >the major metro areas where 95% of the states population live Do you have anything to back this up?

    You missed the point.

    I can give anecdote from St Louis region, which has ~40-50% of Missouri's population. Gas prices here are around $1.60

    I live in one of the large metros in Ohio, prices are all still $1.30-1.50/gallon here. Like most of the locations in the article, I would guess the sub-dollar prices are very isolated locations or special circumstances (no-tax native american reservations like I saw in other comments?)

      $1.07 in the Dayton area...

  > Keep in mind though that prices are not in any way shape or form set at the state level Gasoline / Diesel taxes vary pretty widely from state to state. Taking from either end, gas in Alaska is taxed at 14.6 cents per gallon, while California's gas tax is more than quadruple that at 61.2 cents. The gap is even bigger for diesel. Maybe this is a semantic critique, but the assertion that prices are not set at the state level seems a naive one. They're not "set" at the federal level either, but taxes bear on the price significantly at both levels, though more uniformly at the latter.

    All of those seem very low from my European perspective. Fuel duty is the equivalent of $2.67/gallon here in the UK.
