you forgot greed. there was an article a few years back about pricing structure in the DC area. would charge retailer more/less depending on location. affluent area, higher cost, etc. NOT related to delivery cost, quantity discount, etc. just to soak the folks in those areas.

So true, but why stop with just gas. Houses are priced the same way. It's all about location,location,location. Many food stores will adjust prices for the same reason.The same is true for many other commodities. Noticed the car companies do the same as well. There are rebates available here in Texas that are not available in New Mexico for the same car.
