The spread on gas prices
Anyone noticed this recently? I can remember when the different between 89 / 91 / 93 (most common around here) was 5 cents per grade. Yesterday, I saw a station where it was 89 was $3.01 and 93 was $3.40. Now, that's a huge spread. Even factoring in an overall increase, the spread still seems out of control. Nearly 4X what it was just a couple years ago.
Anybody know why? Because they can? I'm just going to guess that it's because of the number of newer cars that require premium and 'because they can'.
