Everyone loves low gas prices, but annoyingly, they vary so much from place to place. A very brief explanation about why gasoline prices fluctuate so much depending on the season and the city in which you live is summarized from the U.S. Energy Information Association. Crude oil prices, as well as supply and demand, affect retail gasoline prices.

If you’re living in a city that’s on an island, that’s very remote, or one that’s densely populated, the demand often exceeds supply. Conversely, prices rise during peak travel times, such as holidays and the summer vacation season. That added pressure on available supplies creates pricing fluctuations. Some cities fare better than others; following is a list of the five best and five worst cities for low gas prices.
