Default 200 Miles away = 20 cent price drop....

I made another quick road trip to Laughlin and noticed that gas prices are at least 20 to 30 cents cheaper here than they are in Phoenix.

While the Bullhead City area has always has slightly lower prices it's hard for me to imagine why there's a 20 - 30 cent difference for two markets (under the same state taxation) that are only 200 miles from one another.

I think a tanker truck carries about 8,000 gallons of fuel - with a 20 cent spread that would mean you could pay $1,600 to haul gas from Bullhead City to Phoenix before you'd start losing money.
