About gas prices in Alaska
Alaska has the lowest state gas tax in the country at 9 cents per gallon, but consumer prices are typically among the highest because of distribution costs. The Marathon and Petro Star refineries on the Kenai Peninsula supply most of the state, but the road system is so limited that fuel reaches remote communities by barge and air. Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau all see seasonal price swings tied to barge schedules and shipping costs from Pacific Northwest suppliers. Costco in Anchorage typically posts the lowest prices in the state, while Fred Meyer and independent stations dominate Fairbanks and Juneau. Remote villages can see prices double or triple the Anchorage average.
