We have 2 Shell stations on same intersection. NW corner is $3.63, SE corner is $3.44. Amazingly, people still go to NW corner.
That's a test in stupidity. We have a local place that has gas stations at all 4 corners. One is a Shell that is normally 10 or more cents cheaper than the Exxon, BP and whatever is in the 4th corner. Somehow all 4 stations have managed to stay in business for the last 15 years that I can remember.
Much like when buying trucks, some people will only buy gas from a certain gas station. I understand using high tier gas from major suppliers... but all 4 of these are top tier gas providers...
