Again...there are "reasons"...which one(s) did you "officially" expect to hear that would suitably justify their pricing practises/procedures? There's a litany of them...some extremely legitimate.

Spread the combined sales of California (roughly) over 3,851,809 sq. miles vs. California's 155,973 sq. miles. That's 20 TIMES. Consider the fact that Canada consumes roughly 7-8% of NAFTA production while contributing roughly 17%. That's TWICE as much. Staffing. Warrantee administration. Territory sizes = travel expen$e$. And on and on...

Here's a better question to ask the public at large: Why does a gallon of gas cost sooo much more in Canada, where it's found and pumped from, than it does in far-off places in the US?

You'll get a similar "list" of "reasons".

Bottom line...it just IS.
