In order to make gas legal to sell in CA, it requires a special formulation and additives. Refineries have to be specially configured to produce it, so CA will almost always be more due to the smaller amount of refinery capacity dedicated to producing it. And that isn't even taking into account the various CA taxes and fees on gas that add up to nearly 50 cents a gallon.

We end up with oxygenated gas that supposedly produces 10% lower emissions per unit volume.

But it has 11-13% less energy per gallon, so one burns 11-13% more gallons to travel the same distance.
