Oops, that was yesterday.
I like this site. Enter your zip and look. It's nationwide, I
think. http://www.newjerseygasprices.com/Map_Gas_Prices.aspx


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

Absolutely, what the market will bare. One believes he can get more
because of greater in store selection, friendlier employees, what ever
reason. Like most anything else, except for Festool ;~), there is no
set pricing for gasoline. If one does not sell enough gasoline he will
lower the price. It could also be with regulations that it may be a PIA
to buy and sell and keep records of the gasoline and the owner/manager
may want more money for the effort. Price differences like those
mentioned have nothing to do with cost.
