- ilamont 6y agoJust filled up outside of Boston, Massachusetts. $1.89/gallon "regular" ($0.50/liter) and $2.37 "premium" ($0.63/liter). I have a friend with a Costco card paying $1.63, which I haven't seen since the 1990s.
- rootusrootus 6y agoPrices vary for a lot of reasons, and in the UK tax is a significant part of the retail price. Right now perhaps it’s more than half of the pump price. Some parts of the US are under a dollar a gallon. Couple weeks ago it was as low as 89 cents a gallon in some places in Oklahoma. Looks like it’s up to 95-99 cents at Costco now. But in Oregon, it’s just about $1 more a gallon. And not much of that is taxes. We have a different refinery system for the western US, we never get the really good prices here.
