Thanks for the explanation. Could be a regional thing, or a country thing. Shell here runs the same price as other name brands. And the station I typically buy from is usually even a few cents less. And my Kroger rewards card gets 10 cents off that.
Fred Meyer is the same and we try and shop at one if we can on a trip and then get discounted gas. It would be interesting to know where they and the others like them get their gas from.
What's different in Canada is that you can tell what day of the week it is by what just happened to gas prices. It's higher on a weekend because people tend to gas up for the coming work week then it'll drop during the week. Economists and oil companies call it supply and demand theory but it's more like gov't lets them get away with it. Most all stations have the same price in an area or close to it. When the first local station changes their price, bam, all the competitors change to match it, often within minutes. Smart folks gas up mid-week and at our almost $4 USD/gal. can make a big difference.
