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.

I go to the Gulf for gas, the Exxon for service.
