The State motor fuel taxes do make a huge difference in the price of gas. That said, the weather makes a difference on the highway conditions with the freezing and thawing conditions and trying to maintain the highways in northern states. Thus the state taxes are much higher driving up the price of gas. Another factor are labor costs to maintain the highways. These factors make the price of gas cheaper in southern states of the U.S.
