I was gonna say it might be due to transportation costs but I don't know where all the pipelines and refineries are out West. I do know the pipelines generate their own transportation costs. Thanks for the added information even though you stole my link.
It's my superpower.
Seriously, it's a combination of transportation costs and state taxes. You might remember that there are three oil refineries near Anacortes, Washington. They refine crude from Canada and North Dakota via pipeline and rail. One of them, I think, also refined some Russian oil. It's delivered mainly by pipeline and ship.

The current cost of gas in Germany is equivalent to about $7.85/gallon. That's about 20% higher than the average of recent years.

We recently and reluctantly gave up on a larger car that we originally acquired because it was extremely useful, versatile, and could tow various things. We are past most of that stage so it wasn’t prudent to keep the vehicle. In the tri-state area gas is over $5 a gallon.
checking wikapedia they list 24 different tristate areas. That preserves a bit of privacy for your comment.
The fact is that there is nothing standing in the way of domestic oil production. The United States is already approaching record levels of oil and natural gas production. There are oil companies that are doing the right thing and committing to ramp up production now. Right now, domestic production is expected to increase by 1 million barrels per day this year and nearly 700,000 barrels per day next year.
Still, too many companies aren’t doing their part and are choosing to make extraordinary profits and without making additional investment to help with supply. One CEO even acknowledged that, even if the price goes to $200 a barrel, they’re not going to step up production.
Right now, the oil and gas industry is sitting on more than 12 million acres of non-producing Federal land with 9,000 unused but already-approved permits for production. Today, President Biden is calling on Congress to make companies pay fees on wells from their leases that they haven’t used in years and on acres of public lands that they are hoarding without producing.
Tl:dr - American companies 100% behind gas prices increasing
