Vermont at 32.0¢/gal is mid-range for New England. The state is small and primarily serves as a transit corridor between southern New England and Quebec/Ontario, Canada. Burlington is Vermont's largest city and primary freight market. Major industries include dairy (Ben & Jerry's, Cabot Cheese), technology (IBM's Essex Junction facility), and maple products.
I-89 (Burlington–Montpelier–White River Junction–New Hampshire), I-91 (New Haven CT–Brattleboro–St. Johnsbury–Canada), US-7 (Bennington–Burlington, north-south secondary), I-93 (passes through VT briefly near NH border)
New Hampshire to the east (22.2¢) is 9.8¢ cheaper — drivers on I-89 should fuel at the NH side before entering Vermont. Massachusetts to the south (24.0¢) is also better. Quebec to the north drives cross-border freight at the Highgate Springs and Derby Line crossings. Vermont winters are severe with mountain passes on I-89 and I-91 requiring chains and AWD.
