West Virginia gas dealers show price variations across cities with Charleston wholesalers charging 22.7 to 24.7 cents per gallon for regular and premium while Spencer 50 miles away pays 26.6 to 24.6 cents wholesale. Retail prices in Charleston run 29.7 to 31.7 cents, Spencer 28.4 to 30.4, and Montgomery 27 miles away also higher. Despite high dealer margins cited, cost of living seems not the main driver, with Cleveland and Pittsburgh seeing similar or higher margins in retail gasoline.
