As you say it's all relative.
As far as gas, the price can vary a much as .15 - .20 cents within a mile in my area. Help me understand why I should reward the higher priced station with my business if it's "only .75 cents" more out of my pocket? What are they giving me that makes the gas worth more?
If you look at my post in the KOA thread you'll see that my experience with them varies to the point that they are not my first choice, especially given some of the prices I see. However I'm more than happy to spend a little more per night if the CG has good ratings and the right facilities. A $60 per night KOA might be a bargain if it's squeaky clean, modern, and has all the facilities in good working order one might need. It might be a rip off if you pull in and it's a dump that hasn't been updated since 1965. And yes, there are both type of KOAs out there.
