About gas prices in Kentucky
Kentucky benefits from the Marathon Catlettsburg refinery (roughly 285,000 barrels per day) on the Ohio River near Ashland, which supplies most of the state plus parts of Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The state gas tax is around 28 cents per gallon. Louisville and Lexington see the most competitive pricing, with Costco, Sam's Club, Speedway, and Thorntons (founded in Louisville) leading on value. Northern Kentucky (Florence, Independence, Erlanger) often prices 10 to 20 cents below Cincinnati because of lower Kentucky fuel taxes, drawing Ohio cross-border shoppers. Eastern Kentucky near the West Virginia border typically runs slightly above state average due to longer supply hauls into the Appalachian counties.
