This is an example of what I like to call the living in the boonies tax. Some things are cheaper in the boonies: land, houses, wages, services. Some things are more expensive: anything that takes serious capital and transportation.
Doesn't always happen in the boonies! We filled up with Diesel at Fry's in Yuma Arizona, it was under $3.50/gallon and with the discount for shopping there it was $2.86 per gallon. Here in Borrego Springs California (3 hours away) it's $4.50 per gallon. It's nice to have a large enough tank to be selective about where you are filling up.
