We're paying $3.99 where I live. The extra in California is all taxes, yes?
without getting into too much detail, there are three separate oil markets in the united states. california has its own. it's not california taxes, it has its own separate refinery and crude intake system with its own problem dealing with futures speculation.
Not all but a lot. It also is blended differently to pollute less, so it costs more. Importing oil from other states to be refined is also more difficult.
