How is it that gas prices can be vary so much over a short distance? For example, gas back home went to $2.75 this morning. In a town 15 miles away, gas is $2.56.

I may be completely ignorant, but I don't see how that works.

It costs them more to get the gas truck to where you live? Gas prices are silly. Either that, or gas is going to go up to 2.75 and your town got a new shipment faster than the town 15 miles away.

I thought that the higher priced one might have received a new shipment as well, but both stations said they got new shipments yesterday. So I don't know what the deal is. I just know that gas prices going up 40 cents in one month is screwing my family.

If the 15 miles put the gas station outside of the town then they are probably not required to add additives that reduce pollution and what not. The additive cost money making the gas more expensive. The cheapest gas can be found in the middle of fucking nowhere where additives are not needed. ex Wyoming. Even if all the cars there are producing X about of pollution there are not enough cars for it to add up to a problem.

that's funny. the higher priced station is in the middle of nowhere. Literally.

Both of the stations are in generally rural areas, so I highly doubt the amount of additives used would have any effect. Even moreso when you compare them to gas prices in larger towns.

damn you people and your weird sentence structure... lower would be in town cause of competition between gas stations.

Two different middle of nowheres... one not in a city but still within the gas infrastructure and the one that is really in the fucking middle of nowhere that hardly gets a gas shipment.
