Factors Driving Gas Prices

Nationwide, the average cost for a gallon of gas is about $3.60, with crude oil prices being a significant factor contributing to this cost. Additionally, refining costs, taxes, and distribution/marketing play roles in determining gas prices. Specifically, on the west coast, where special gasoline formulations are required, prices tend to be the highest due to limited supply sources.
