Would you consider a 20 plus cent difference per gallon of gas gouging? I have 2 Chevron's within a mile of each other with that difference. And yes I would consider this whole gas pricing thing to be out of control but should there be that big a difference between the 2?

I suppose he has the right to charge that if people are dumm enough to pay it.

I've noticed this too in my area. It's simple economics. The stations closer to the freeways always charge more.....

Come to think of it the higher priced one is by the freeway

And one guy could own both, if you pay the higher price he makes more money. If you go to the cheaper one down the street he makes less money but never the less still makes money..........

I think the same way this is a free country this is capitalism.IMO gas is pricey now but dont like the gov telling you what you can do with your business

Ever think one station's RENT is higher for a better or larger location? Gotta pay for that somehow :boxingguy
