Gas price variances

Kumandgo (Small)Last weekend I went on a fishing trip to Bennett Springs State Park near Lebanon MO.  Before I left I filled up at my local Mobil station for $2.77 per gallon for regular unleaded.

When I got to Lebanon three quarters of a tank later) the price at the Kum & Go gas station was $2.27 per gallon.  (I noticed a station in the next block selling it at $2.26 per gallon.)  I asked the clerk why the prices were so low.  She said they just went down a day or two before from $2.34 per gallon.  She also told me that at their highest, a few weeks ago,  unleaded was $2.99 per gallon.

When I got back home the price had dropped to $269 per gallon.   Wonder why the big difference.
