That's crazy, I thought big cities were the ones that always had the highest gas prices.i guess notBig cities = plenty gas stations = more competition = lower prices. Somehow, this is true for the gas market, but it's not always correct in other industries. Also, the location of the individual gas station is also a major factor, wack locations needs to have lower prices to attract customers that usually would just drive by.
Well, those places don't tell me anything, but I will say this:Smaller places can some times be cheaper if the competition is fierce. A little dump of a village having 3-4 gas stations = lower prices.But if there's little to no competition, it's likely to be more expensive than the big cities.. competition (and location) is what sets the price, in nearly all cases.Also, in big cities where there's 10 gas stations within a 5 min drive, it's likely to be cheap, due to the fierce competition.But it's also possible that a station in a (more remote) part of a city, which might only have 1 gas station, and a 10-15 drive to the next, is expensive, because there's no real natural competition.. but some times there might be other reasons..Btw, are you trying to give people an epilepsy seizure with that sig.. ?
