Same thing. Prices will be different in various parts of the province, but in any give city, there is unlikely to be any difference from station to station. I don't find the same sort of invariance in any other product.

>Here that is not the case, but mostly because they will charge based on the demand and each location has their own tax they add to it. In Greensboro right now it is about 2.96 a gallon but in Sanford it is 2.86 a gallon. In Fayetteville it is between the two. Someone once told me it had more to do with the cost of transporting the fuel but that is obviously NOT true.

>>What truly amazes me is that everywhere I go in Toronto, the price of gas is exactly the same - to the tenth of a cent, but whenever the competition bureau investigates charges of collusion, they end up giving the companies a clean bill of health. They've done this at least 4 times now, but still, the prices are identical all across the city - and I do not mean similar.
