We've always say the cost of living is higher in Alaska... And the cost of McD's proves it.

The text of the story for those not inclined to click the link:

Residents of Alaska and Hawaii always suspected they pay higher prices, and now the hamburger proves it.The Juneau Empire reports (In burger prices, Juneau tops them all | Juneau Empire - Alaska's Capital City Online Newspaper) residents of Alaska's capital city pay the highest price in the nation for a McDonald's Quarter Pounder with Cheese.
The basic cost of living guide is from the consumer advocacy website NerdWallet, which ranked the costs of living in cities across the nation based on the price of the McDonald's burger.
The average price last year in Juneau, according to NerdWallet's QPI - or Quarter Pounder Index, was $4.82.
The survey also ranks Anchorage, Fairbanks and Honolulu in the top 10 for most expensive cities. The cheapest Quarter Pounder was found in Conway, Ark., at $2.24.
An email seeking comment from McDonald's wasn't immediately returned Wednesday.

lived in Alaska several times. The best time was in Skagway 2007. I was a jeep guide for Alaska Travel Adventures taking jeep tours into Car Cross & Whitehorse Canada. I spent most of my income having the best dinners at The Fish Company, The Pizza Station and Sweet Tooth Cafe. I flew into Alaska and drove back taking the California rout back home to Florida. I always made sure to leave good tips for the dinning staff cash flow. I had the best time working for Alaska Travel Adventures & Living.
