That is because gas station OWNERS MAKE THE PRICES....
FOR EXAMPLE, THE CITGO'S ON THE BERLIN TURN PIKE.
THEY ARE OWNED BY LINCOLN OIL, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN TANKERS AND BRING THE FUEL TO THEIR STATIONS ON THEIR OWN THUS SAVING MONEY BUYING DIRECT...
WASHINGTON ST ON THE OTHER HAND IS ALL INDEPENDENTLY OWNED AND OPERATED BUT THEY HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE FUEL BROUGHT IN TO THEM. BUT THE KEEP THE PRICE AS COMPETITIVE AS POSSIBLE AND ARE NORMALY ALL CHARGING THE SAME..
SOUTH MAIN ST ON THE OTHER HAND, STILL INDEPENDENTLY OWNED BUT FURTHER " OUT OF THE WAY" THEY PAY MORE FOR DELIVERY, AND THEY DO NOT SELL THE SAME VOLUME AS THE DEALERS ON WASHINGTON ST AND OR THE BERLIN TURNPIKE...
OK CLASS DISMISSED....

Price of gas is like any other commodity, you pay what ever will sell. Meriden at 2.89 and Durham at 2.95.
If people will pay the higher price so be it.
