The price of gas is based on - whatever the oil company wants to charge. If you don't like paying $3.49/gallon, drive a mile out of your way and pay $3.37/gallon. Or drive three miles out of your way and get it for $2.94/gallon.
People are willing to pay $3.49/gallon, and so - that's what they'll be charged. Such is the nature of free enterprise and a free market.

But you are forgetting about the rent they have to pay. The ones located closer to The Villages pay higher rent than the ones out in the country. Same goes for taxes and insurance.
(I have this same argument all the time with my husband)
