At home today driving to work the price of gas ranges from 2.89 to 2.97 the closer to work I get. I work next door to the airport where gas is high to gig rental car returnees. Monday and Tuesday I was in the Nyack-Middletown-Spring Valley NY area. Gas ranged from 3.25 to 3.36 for Self Service, Higher for the NJ bunch that is not used to Self Service and has to have full service since the area is on the border.
I noticed the same thing yesterday that I have noted before. People will get gas at the higher priced outlets even if that means fighting traffic flow and entry-exits to the station that are a PITA. I have seen stations that are 20 cents lower with no customers while the higher station across the street has lines.
Is this an odd quirk of human nature? Or are some stations just undesireable?
