Two local gas stations are $3.99 today. Gas was $5.09

back in June. Local prices range from $3.99 to $4.61. How can there be a 62 cent price spread with gas stations 1/4 mile appart?

Granted, I haven't filled my tank since April 25, (don't drive much, lol) but still, sticker shock. It was lower in my neighborhood gas station ($4.59) than one closer to the Capitol (4.79) But the prices appear to be decreasing slowly which is a good thing.

All the Sheetz in my area did that for the July 4th weekend while other stations were much higher.

Still higher out in rural MO and KS, but about 45 cents lower than last month.

Conservatives may end up voting for Dems now!

(OK, I can joke to myself) 😆

But if it keeps going down, then I can put those Biden "I did that" on the pumps
