Not like that around here. They ALL are within 2-3 cents of each other and ALL raise their rates on the same day. Within a few hours even.

You just live in an area with a more efficient market.

I'mm not buying it. People are stupid. Earlier in the summer when my daughter and I were out, we stopped off and filled up at an Interstate off ramp in some small town somewhere. The service station on the opposide side of the road was a full 9¢ higher than the one I was using to fill up at. There were three cars over there filling up even as I filled up across the street for 9¢ less per gallon than they were. I pointed it out and asked "What's wrong with them?" It's insane to fill up over there. But they were. I have never encountered such a large price differential over such a short distance.

If it's a reasonble price, there's no reason to complain, and if they're all overpriced, then you can make a ton of money by opening up your own gas station and consistently selling for less.

They all buy from the same suppliers.
