What Affects Gas Prices in the US?

Several factors cause gas prices to rise and fall across the country. Crude oil prices are the biggest driver, accounting for roughly 50% of the pump price. Federal and state taxes vary significantly by state, while refinery costs, capacity, and distribution also play a role. Seasonal demand pushes prices up during summer driving season, and regional supply disruptions — such as pipeline issues, hurricanes, or refinery outages — can cause sudden spikes. This is why the gas price in California can differ so dramatically from Texas or Florida.
