Gas less than $3 a gallon here in Southern NJ

I've started to see gas dropping below $3 a gallon here in Southern NJ, though only to $2.99 at the moment. How are prices elsewhere?

Meanwhile, for my family and friends back in England, they are paying $7.87 for the same quantity of fuel. This is taking into account the current exchange rate of 1 US Dollar = 1.60 British Pound, the cost of UK petrol at £1.30 (1 pound 30 pence) per litre according to my dad two days ago, and the fact that 1 US gallon is 3.78 litres, and 1 UK (Imperial) gallon is 4.54 litres.

For 1 UK gallon (4.54 litres) it costs $9.46. If you could pay in England what I'm paying here for fuel, you would only be paying 49 pence per litre.

It's a good job I don't live there any more with my old 3.5 litre Capri, all my money would go into the tank...

Almost a shame I don't actually need to go anywhere. Maybe I should take this as a reason to swap out the gas cans I keep for the generator for fresh. I bought them early in the summer, so its been less than 6 months but I really don't want problems with that thing if I need it in the middle of winter.
 
It was around $2.95 in my home town of Moline, Il last week. Paid $3.19 today in Maple Grove, Mn
 
Actually watched as the sign switched from 3.03 to 2.99. Personally, I think gasoline is fairly-priced at somewhere between 2.80 & 3.00...but that's just me.
 
Many bitch about the price of gasoline but don't bat an eye about paying a dollar or more for a pint of water.
 
It went up 3 cents overnight here in Syracuse to $3.45. Gotta love NY.

Question: Why is gas so much cheaper in Missouri? If you look at that color coded map on gasbuddy.com, Missouri is pretty much all dark green (cheapest) then the colors get gradually more yellow, orange and red as you get closer to the country's coasts and borders, except Jersey apparently. I understand transportation costs, distances from refineries and the fact that the Mississippi goes through the state, but 75 cents or more cheaper than places that are closer to refineries?
 
Below $3 in northern NJ, too.

Of course, it's all me, guys... I just got a 2014 Madza 3 hatchback (stick), and I'm getting 35+ average. I'm still getting used to it - it 'only' takes $31 at a time.

No balls vs the Mustang, but the operating costs aren't that bad!
 
The recent price fluctuations the last year or so have only effected my fill up cost to the tune of +/- $6. All in all its been pretty manageable for a while now. I can almost always guess what it will take whether I'm paying inside or at the pump. 10 gallon tank for the win.
