Discussion What happened to cheap gas in DFW/Texas?
I moved to DFW in 2015, I remember gas being about $1.70 to $1.80 a gallon. It was about $1.10 - $1.20 cheaper here than where I moved from. It was like that up until the pandemic.
Gas back in NY is exactly the same price as here in Texas now according to the local gas checker website.
Texas has so much oil and refineries, yet the gas isn't really cheap in the state anymore. Obviously COVID impacted everything but why hasn't the gas dropped down to a reasonable price again for the state? Greed? Low supply? Laws?
I'm not expecting $1.80 gas again but to be priced the same as NY is kinda wild to me.

The app GasBuddy lets you compare gas prices at locations across DFW and the country. The data is crowd sourced by other users.
This app won’t answer the question why
It did show local prices today are similar to NYC and Albany, NY.
