Why Utah pays this much

High-tax / special-blend U.S. state

Utah carries high state fuel taxes, and West-Coast and island states also require special clean-burning blends and pay to ship fuel long distances — that is what pushes it well above the U.S. average.

Where the money goes

An estimated split of a $4.81 gallon in Utah. Crude oil trades as one global price, so the part that differs between countries is mostly tax.
