I've noticed there can be a 5%-10% difference in the price of gas where I live. For example right now the cheapest premium price is $3.85 and the most expensive is $4.17. It's the same state and county, and the product being sold is considered a commodity. I know the simple answer is "what the market with bear," but what specific factors account for this price variance?
Why do gas stations charge different amounts in the same local area?
