Supposedly, Shell sets the price at that station -- not the owner. I was told they were in a different district than the ones on 466 and 441. Don't know if that is true or not, but it is a stupid policy if it is. They'd thrive if they were competitive and not just in gas, but in everything. I've found things to be consistently higher there than other TV gas stations.
