Competition. Further in town there is a shell on one side of the street and a local station on the other, both are by the interstate. The local station this morning has gas at 3.79 while Shell is 3.89. Guess who had the most business? Guess where I'm filling up this afternoon.
It might be cheaper this afternoon when you fill up. Let us know.
I am seeing some stations drop prices multiple times per day.
Sure, but someone has to be the first to lower their prices.
it seems like there is always that one, even if it is by one penny. In the next town there is a Wal Mart and another chain station right next to it. The other station always keeps their gas price the same or within one cent of the Wal Mart price.

I noticed yesterday - station closest to me dropped by 6 cents - so that's good news. Never quite got near the $7 and $10 marks that were promised on here. Oh well
You have to pay for the gas produced with the expensive oil before anyone will see any relief.
But I didn't save on gas made with cheap oil that was in the gas stations tanks the day price per gallon when up 75 cents. That gas was made weeks before but got the shiny new price tag.

The retailer raised the price because they will need to buy the more expensive gasoline to refill their storage tanks.
Gas at Sam's Club or Costco is often 50 cents a gallon cheaper then anywhere else in town... Except for the gas stations near Sam's or Costco. They somehow manage to drop their price to a couple of cents above what Sam's/Costco are selling it at. Weird that they can still make a profit when stations selling the same brand two blocks away are very high.

NO... they should raise their priced WHEN THEY SELL the gas they had to pay more for. Why is this so hard to grasp?
