The amazing thing there were cars getting gas at the $4.15/gal station i wanted to go up to them and be did you not look across the street why are voluntarily paying .17cents more a gallon!!!!
I've said it before, it doesn't matter what the sign or pump says, there is no guarantee that that is ExxonMobil gas coming out of that ExxonMobil pump. It's all a marketing strategy. Also the no name brand station gets to control their prices based on the delivery price, so they only change their prices when they receive delivery, Marketed gas stations like ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, and such are forced to change their prices as soon as they are told to.
