Iowa has a state tax of $0.20 on gas.

Kansas is $0.24

Kansas has a higher tax on diesel than Iowa by a few cents, so something else is up there. I think Kansas has a few refineries that refine diesel, too.

Anyway, swings of ~$0.20 aren't unusual in metro areas. Look around on gasbuddy.com and you'll see.
