Gasoline prices
I went to Wal-Mart this morning on 466. The first Shell gas station I passed had their price at $3.22. I drove less than two blocks and there is another Shell station (owned by the same person, I believe) and their gasoline was $3.49. I could not believe my eyes that a 17 cent difference would be within 2 blocks and both the same brand. I kept on going to Wal-Mart and noticed the Murphy's gas station on the opposite side of 466. Their gasoline was $3.49.
Needless to say, I made a quick turnaround and went back to the first Shell station and filled my tank. The price was still $3.22 but the tanker truck was filling the station tanks. I don't know for certain if his price did go up to $3.49 but I will guess it is there now.
What situation made for a 17 cent jump overnight? Ridiculous!!
