Prices get better as you leave California. Here's a map that shows US  
gas prices. California has the highest, why? Taxes? I have never  
understood why but my favorite part of the country has comparatively  
low prices. When I travel from Phoenix to Ozark County, it is the  
latter that has the lowest price of the entire trip. Taxes are no  
doubt part of the reason, but look how far fuel must be trucked.
