No I'm not going to bitch about gas prices, although we probably all could. What I'm going to bitch about is the variation in gas prices on my way to work. I live about 8 miles from the office and I drive by 8 different gas stations on the way to work. Here are the prices on the cheapest level of gas this morning.
2.09
2.09
2.21
2.14
2.19
2.11
2.19
2.20
The two $2.09 are right across the street from each other which obviously is why they're the lowest and the same price. However the $2.21 is less than a quarter mile from them, you can see both of them from it and vice versa. They are on the north side of the interstate and $2.21 is on the south side but only an interstate exit separates them. The $2.11 and $2.19 near the bottom of the list are right next to each other as well.
I don't understand a 5% difference in prices when you are right next to each other.
