We went to Costco this morning for our monthly run. As we turned into the parking lot, the gas station on the corner had gas listed at $3.15/gal. When we came out an hour or so later, the price was $3.25! Makes you wonder……..

It all makes me wonder. Both the Costco and the Sam's in our area have gas stations (with prices enough lower that they are not figured into the local average price).
Some of the supermarkets have "points programs," wherein you earn points for what you spend. Each 100 points, for example, means 10 cents/per gallon when you buy gas at participating stations.
That's really nice. Don't you wonder how come some places pay less for their gas?
Prices are strictly at the whim of somebody or other, I think. That price wasn't at the Costco station, but one on the perimeter. We buy our gas there, or more often at WalMart. By using our WM card, we are charged $0.03 less than the posted price. Having one of those big stores in a neighborhood tends to keep the other stations with lower prices.
