That was in the town that's 20 miles to the east of mine. It's always 20-50 cents per gallon less in that town. It's because they have a Pilot station that all the other gas stations in that town compete with. I'm told the low prices are because of the lower prices from their wholesaler. Funny that we can't get the same wholesaler in our town just 20 miles away....

Unusually, the price of gas in my town has been jumping up and down frequently in recent weeks, and by substantial amounts both ways. It usually makes a big jump up and stays that way for a while and then only reduces by a few pennies.
