The station I go to was $2.89 on Mon night when I drove home, it was $2.74 the next morning so I stopped and filled up, that night on the way home it was up to $2.79 :roll:

I can't wait to see what it is this morning when I go by!

Don't you just love the people all on the different corners filling up and you just know one of them is paying about .05 more for their gas, I just don't get it

I just don't understand why at one station it was $2.50 a gallon and 5 miles away it was $3.50 a gallon?????

Were they in different cities? some claim, its the different taxes they pay in each city but that sounds a little crazy! :shock:

Fuel is always more costly near the Highways here in Lansing, Is it the case there?

I haven't really thought about it John... I have been visiting http://detroitgasprices.com/ to know where to go though...

I have to agree with John, I live right off the thruway and the one gas station there is always a ton higher, especially on the diesel!

That makes sense then... The one that is higher is right by the freeway...

Here's another one I don't get.....we have a Citgo Station out on RT-13 that sells fuel 5 cents cheaper then everyone else.....I see lines there over a half a mile long.....now if you sit for 45 minutes have a 20 gallon tank....thats a buck(savings).....how much gas do you burn idling for 45 minutes and how much is your time really worth???...I go to the Exxon 2 blocks away....no line and I'm home cooking dinner and serving it before they get their gas :roll:

I hear ya Jimmy... There is one station around here that made the evening news... They are selling their gas probably .20 cents cheaper than anyone around but here is the kicker... There are lines backed up out to the street and cops are giving them tickets for blocking traffic... :shock:

GAS IS 15-20 CENTS HIGHER FOR THE STATIONS RIGHT OFF THE HIGHWAY EXITS. COME INTO TOWN TO MY BROS PLACE AND HE HAS GAS PRICES 15 CENTS UNDER WHAT THE OTHER STATIONS SELL FOR.
MIKE HAD REGULAR AT 2.84 CENTS A GALLON AND THAT IS THE LOWEST I'VE SEEN GAS UP HERE FOR A LONG TIME.
IN DENVER ITS USUALLY 10-15 CENTS A GALLON CHEAPER
