Part of the reason, I believe, is the difference in taxes.

See the thread "Gas price watch" going on in
misc.consumers.frugal-living.  I've seen 30 to 60 cents per
gallon difference in price between NY and the NYC / Westchester
area.  North Jersey seems to be somewhat higher than south
Jersey.  Best I've found is .99 / gallon for premium.  Locally,
I'm seeing 1.35 - 1.45 for self-serve premium, and up to 1.60 for
full-serve (maybe a bit higher; I don't really look out for
full-serve prices).
