Same reason restaurants charge different prices for sodas when you get the same size and flavors.

Because they choose what they want to charge. The price of oil has gone down to the price it was three weeks ago. So it’s the stations that are gouging us still.

AS SEEN ON TV: March 12 2022, Terre Haute IN TV stationed interviewed manager of local gas station in our town. She was filling up her own car during interview. Was pointed out to her that competitor across street had just raised their price 4-cents. The lady being interviewed said, on camera, that meant she'd be raising her price 4-cents as soon as she filled up her own car. None of her costs went up during that interview; but, if people will pay more, grab the money and run. And that, my children, has nothing to do with whom is President of the United States.

Good question. I always see a difference in price from block to block. FREE ⛽ GAS....not here in Pa.

Fuel is 100 a barrel. Tell biden to get off his ass and lower prices. Report true news or dont report. We are not stupid.

Sunshine gas owner is a liar....of course he gets richer. Don't let that beautifully manicured man lie to you about credit card charges.
