Why is gasoline in New Jersey cheaper than in New York or Pennsylvania?

Question

When New Jersey requires full-service stations, the others do not (only Oregon AFAIK requires full-service other than NJ); presumably the cost of gasoline should reflect the price of paying the salaries of the gas "jockeys", so why is it less?

Answer 1

i live in phx and gas is only 2.77 and there is no full service mostly over here

Answer 2

It is the state gas tax that makes the price less. I think New Jersey tax is about 13 cents. In CT, where I live the tax is 45 cents. That's the big difference in price.

Answer 3

NJ has been traditionally cheaper for several decades.  tax reasons

Answer 4

maybe,the value added tax(VAT)has something to do with it.......

Answer 5

tax is dependent on your state     other reasons include

transportation and retail pricing
