From Our FAQs:

A

Why are Gas Prices in “Town A” Higher than Nearby “Town B”?

Gas prices in Town A, might still be higher than in Town B despite lower transportation taxes due to several factors:

Retail Margins: Gas stations in Town A may have higher retail margins to cover operational costs, such as rent, utilities, and credit card fees, which can vary significantly between locations.

Supply and Demand: Local demand for fuel and the availability of supply can influence prices. If Town A has fewer suppliers or higher demand relative to supply, prices may rise.

Competition: The level of competition among gas stations in Town A versus Town B can impact pricing. More competition in Town B might drive prices down.

Distribution Costs: Even though Town A has lower transportation taxes, the cost of transporting fuel to Town A might be higher due to logistics or distance from refineries.

Market Dynamics: External factors like global oil prices, currency exchange rates, and regional economic conditions can also play a role.

It’s a complex interplay of these factors that determines the final price at the pump.
