For the same reason that gas prices are high in Hawaii: neither state has any oil refineries, so all petroleum products including gasoline must be imported from places that do and this must be done via ships, not pipelines or trucks (both of which would be cheaper).

Why have the gas prices have gone up so much lately?
America's supply from other countries is now less than 5%. Gas prices have gone up because the amount is low and the demand is high. Also, since the gas prices have gone up, so has everything else. Food, electronics, electricity bills, etc. The high price on gas affects everything. I think America has to get off oil, and find some other resource to power our things. If we don't, we might find gas prices at over $5.00 per gallon. And it's just becoming more expensive to find oil and gas, so again, that affects the price of the gas. High demand, low amount. That's what is causing the high gas prices.
