Consult the chart. It shows how screwy the gasoline market is.
Pay attention to the lite green area of Phx......matches the same pricing color as eastern NM and west Texas.
AZ has zero petroleum resources and has zero refineries.....everything has to be piped/trucked in. AZ refined gasoline comes from a pipeline/truck from southern Calif or a pipeline from El Paso.
Eastern NM and west TX are part of the " U.S. West Texas Intermediate" oil field that determines pricing for North American crude. There are numerous refineries.
Yet the price of gasoline is the same....and it's virtually tha same raw gasoline.
