I ran across this map today on www.gasbuddy.com which shows the costs of gas in each county in the USA. http://www.atlantaga..._By_County.aspx How can one attribute the differences in gas per state, county and city? Simple - their taxes on a gallon of already inflated gasoline. Something to note to prove my point. See the Northeastern corner of Indiana adjacent to Chicago? Red counties are $4.13 - $4.23 per gallon. But in a close county about 50 miles away the cost is $3.83 - $3.93. Then you look at the price of gas in Chicago about 100 miles away - >$4.23/gallon. Then you look at the dark green counties for a comparision. Take a look at the entire USA and you may be Dramatically surprised. For What It's Worth. KEN
