Living in the Pacific Northwest, I have 4 oil refineries in my backyard (Arco, Phillips/Conoco, Texaco and one other) and our gas prices were reported to be the highest in the country - at least until the panic started in the South. Although the taxes on gas in Washington State would kill a horse! They just added a 30 cent price hike over the next couple of years to cover roads and such - hell, with the price of gas right now, I'll gladly drive around a pothole or two or even three! I've always wondered how an area can live so close to the refineries and still pay a premium. Must be the costs of the pipeline from Alaska.
