About gas prices in Vermont
Vermont has limited in-state retail competition relative to other states, so the few warehouse club locations near Burlington and St. Albans typically offer significantly lower prices than independent stations across the rest of the state. The state gas tax is around 32 cents per gallon. Burlington sees the lowest pricing in the state, with Costco, BJ's Wholesale, Cumberland Farms, and Maplefields (a Vermont chain) competing on value. The southern Vermont towns near the Massachusetts border occasionally see cross-border price competition. The state's small population and rural distribution network keep average prices higher than the New England average, with mountain communities (Stowe, Killington) running 10 to 20 cents above Burlington.
