That is because there is a difference between "CARB" states that have adopted California's auto emission standards and those (if any) that have adopted the CARB-mandated fuel formulations used in California. AFAIK, the CPR is the only state that uses these formulations and only refineries here in the CPR make CARB fuel (which is why prices are much higher here and spike more when a refinery shuts down for "maintenance" or "repairs").
Not sure if it is te "exact" same blend, but i know that many of the larger cities are also running different fuel blends. Cook county Illinois (Chicago) and surrounding area has been running special blends for at least 25 years. You used to be able to sit just inside the county line at a station that was 10 - 15 cents higher than the station across the street that was outside the county. That was back when gas was still cheaper than it is today. early 90s

The next move in fuel prices will be even lower.

Lots of local stations under $2.00 now for ULSD.

Forementioned Shell station near Tucson, $1.89 for D2. Lots of small Diesel PU trucks fill there, so fuel turnover is high.....:D

Cheapest diesel in southern Baldwin Co., Alabama is $1.769 (cash) at Dodge's Fried Chicken, with $1.899 being about average.

Over in Mobile, the cheapest diesel I've seen is at the Dodge's Fired Chicken on Schillinger Road, where the cash price is $1.669. Just a few miles away is a Chevron on Hillcrest charging $3.099. I'm sure they do gangbusters business at that price. :cool:

$1.839 at Kroger, with my typical $1/gallon discount, I was able to fill up for less than $14! My lifetime fuel costs keeps dropping and now at 4.7 cents per mile, for 2015 it was 4.0 cents, and with my one fill up so far in 2016, starting off the year pretty good at 2.0 cents per mile. Enjoying the low fuel costs while it lasts!:D
