Let me try to settle this dispute between you and CJ. As of today, according to Gasbuddy, LA's range for gas prices is $3.12 to $3.69. losangelesgasprices.com For Houston, the price range is $2.75 to $3.18 houstongasprices.com There IS an overlap in prices between the two cities but its very small. For you to have seen the overlap, it requires that you have seen the one Houston station at $3.18 and one of the 4 LA stations at $3.12. Not impossible but highly unlikely. I am not surprised by the difference in ranges between the two cities. It makes sense that gas would be more expensive in LA. Most of the oil refined in LA is shipped from longer distances; hence there are higher shipping costs.. While there is still some oil production in S. CA, its a fairly small percentage of the total refined. Meanwhile much of Houston's oil is coming from the Gulf which is right next door. In addition, I believe the crude refined in LA is mostly 'sour' whereas the crude in Houston is 'sweeter'. It takes more work and hence more cost to refine sour crude into gas vs sweeter crude. Therefore, I would suggest you back off and let CJ have this one.
