Today's national gas temperature map shows all of New York City in the red-hot zone, whereas a quick trip across the Hudson River reveals prices as much as 50¢ lower per gallon. Curiously enough, even in Manhattan prices fluctuate wildly, from roughly $3.19 to $3.39 a gallon. And out in Canarsie, you can find it at just under $3.00, a relative bargain for the city. There seems to be no logic at work here, just greed combined with insanely high New York taxes. Unusually, more counties in New York State at present have higher prices than anywhere else in the continental United States. Generally the most counties with highest gas prices can be found in southern and far-northern California. In most of the United States, gas prices have gone down nearly 40¢ per gallon since May. But not in New York City, where on average they've only gone down by half that much.
