Much of that is taxes. Since we don't have a progressive income tax they make up for that with excessive sales taxes, especially on gasoline.

We live with it.

Late add: In truth, though, gas was around $3.25 just a month or so ago. $4.89 is higher than most stations around me. Our local Walmart was at $4.00 just last weekend.
