Gas Price Discrepancies
by Tran, Harry ~ October 1st, 2009. Filed under: Quick Blast, Rants n Raves.Has anyone else noticed that in certain districts in a city the gas prices can have a big difference.
In one area of town where I work gas is about $2.99 for a gallon of regular. The same gas grade near my home is only $2.79 at this moment.
I don’t work downtown or anything but the two neighborhoods definitely have a big income disparity. The gas price seems to be higher in neighborhoods where the average income take home is higher.
I always thought this was due to land rentals being more expensive at the higher priced gas stations. Is this true? I’m sure it has a lot to do with the prices but could it also be that they are trying to charge more to those who can afford to pay more?
Either way I know I only get gas near home because it’s cheaper and I’m not going out of my way to save money either. Does anyone else go to cheaper gas stations located in another district of town?
