Is that just a profit hunger or do they just get a bad deal on their gas?
Mostly just an owner operator trying to see where they can set the price and not lose business....

I see it down here in Ma. All the time... We have a Mobil station just off the highway , and less then a mile down the road are two other stations... The guy right by the highway, is always 10 cents more....then the other two stations... which are also high, generally 5-10 cents off of the general average of the area. But because they are convenient locations they get away with the higher prices.
