The simple answer:

Because if gas was cheaper in one area, some entrepeneur would go up with a trailer and truck it to where the can sell it for more.

Yes, real world is a bit more complicated with companies seeing what they can charge (usually there's it's 5-10 cent more in CT for me to get gas than MA; recently it's been upto 20 cents LESS...hmmmm).

But outside of the normal 20 cent "play around" with prices, and differences with gas taxes, a shortage in one region of the U.S. is a shortage everywhere...you truck the gas to whose willing to pay the most for it.
