Why is gas so expensive in South Carolina?

Now that I’ve returned to the office, it’s really hit me how much more gas costs today than a few years ago. Why is gas so expensive in South Carolina?

It’s not just your imagination—gas prices are at a historic high on a national (and global) scale.
Gas is so expensive in
South Carolina
due to a host of complex social and political problems, including supply chain issues and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
It’s cold comfort for sure, but it’s worth mentioning that while gas prices in South Carolina are at a historic high, they’re among some of the lowest in the U.S. at the moment. At the time of writing, the average price for a gallon of regular gas in SC was $4.35, which is less painful than the $5 to $6 range that Western states are looking at.
