Gasoline prices

I suspect that most of us have been pleased with the relatively low gas prices we've enjoyed this summer, but one thing strikes me as odd.

For may years when I lived in Maine and worked in NH, I would buy my gasoline in NH as the prices here were consistently about a dime per gallon lower. For the past several months, however, the situation seems to be reversed.

Yesterday the lowest price I found in the "greater metro" Wolfeboro area was $2.219/gal. Our local station was at $2.299. As it happened, we had to make a trip into Maine where, without any searching, I was able to fill my tank for $2.179 at a major brand station.

Did I miss something? (It's been known to happen.) Did the state significantly raise our gasoline taxes recently? Just curious.
