Why is there so much price disparity?
Last Friday I gassed up here is San Antonio at $2.599/gal, I drive down south and Valero stations in Three Rivers are the same at $2.599 though their refinery is just accross the street.
I reach Edinburg, Texas (about 240 miles from San San Antonio, 180 from Three Rivers) and the prices are at $2.199!!! It stayed like that all weekend too!
California fuel cost used to be approx 25% more than ours but last I talked to my sister she said the prices are almost the same as Texas now...since the lawsuit of gouging came about.
I am a believer of supply and demand etc...but can't WE do anything about this?????? Do we need to launch more gouging lawsuit for the prices to be "fair" again?
EDIT:
Prices are for 87 octane (Regular Unleaded).
Most I've seen add $0.10 for 89 octane and another $0.10 for the 92/93 octane (Premium or Super unleaded).
