Oops, that was yesterday.
I like this site. Enter your zip and look. It's nationwide, I
think.

Last week a weird thing happened with gas prices around here. I
live in Atlanta during the week and commute back home to E. Alabama
for the weekend. Gas prices up there jumped $.40 just before last
weekend but they didn't move a penny here (they'd both increased
about $.20 in the week or two before that). The prices have been
unstable for a year, or more, but I found it odd that in the 75-100
miles there is such a difference in the deltas.
We see price differences like that in Houston.
This is really odd. All of the stations here (SW Atlanta) just shot
up while the stations 75mi down I-85 didn't. It's usually about
$.10/gal more expensive here and that's about the difference in the
state gasoline taxes (little less, IIRC). It's not one station.
It is what the market will bare. Supply and demand have nothing to do
with the actual final pricing. The 40 cent higher stations tend to be
the ones with shops and in the more affluent part of town.
Well, there is that, but 10 cents difference for different sides of a
railroad crossing? Exxon (not Texaco as I said before) versus Gulf in
07410
