$2.24 here in Arlington Va. It has never made sense to me how the prices can vary so widely.

$1.89/gallon on Fort Leonard Wood, MO. This is nice when it translates into $50 for a full tank rather than $100. Reasons for disparity may include:
- Local competition or lack thereof. More competition means lower prices generally. I assume this is a minor consideration.
- State and local tax differences. NY has notoriously high taxes whereas TN and KY are not known for being as bad as NY. Not sure what this translates into cost per gallon but I assume this is huge.
- Cost of getting fuel to Buffalo vs Fort Campbell. Just a guess. Most fuel refining is done in LA in the US. Easier/cheaper to ship via barge up the Mississippi and Tennesse Rivers to Campbell than it is to move via truck to Buffalo.

COL Jason Smallfield, PMP, CFM, CM the price drop for a full tank made a huge difference on the trip home this year. Great timing...
The governor of NY is apparently looking into the reason for the high prices. But that is most likely little more than an appeasement technique. $2.85 is extreme for an economy not located in a place like Hawaii or Alaska. Even for the tax monster that is NYS

The fuel tax in NY is crazy. Diesel fuel for the longest time was always cheaper, then the decided they could tax the living crap out of the truck drivers, now even still with the drop in regular fuel, diesel is still $3.67

$1.84 is the lowest I've seen here in the Lowcountry, but my regular fill up spot is still at $1.90. It still works for me though :)
