Are the gas stations closest to your house the cheapest?

Do you get a good deal on gas at the stations near your house, or do you have to travel for a better price?

They are all within a few pennies of each other around here.

The station where I usually buy gas (and is about the cheapest in my area) is near the gym so even though it's not right around the corner I'm not really going out of my way.

Same here. The ones closest to my house aren't the CHEAPEST but they aint that much higher than the cheapest i know so its not worth driving out the way.

Lukoil is usually the most expensive being about 15 cents more than the rest

I have to travel to another state to get better prices on gas. When I am in New Jersey I usually fill up there gas can be up to .50 a gallon cheaper than in NY.

The cheapest one is a few miles from where I live, and it's like a .10 price difference.

They all the same for the most part.

Fucking Ruskies!

Nope. The places here are 10 to 15 cents higher so I go either to Slidell or into MS to fill up

yep... cause we have the refineries... and we still PAY someone to pump for us! lol

When I used to drive to CT a lot, and gas was almost $5 there, it was a whole dollar cheaper here, so I hit the last station on the parkway before going any further! At least there is SOMETHING good bout living here

No. They are about 15-20¢ more than in Newark.

The gas station closest to my house was $4.15 yesterday, but I rarely go there. I do a lot of shopping in New Jersey so I fill up outside of the city where the gas prices are a little lower.

This has come up before. It's not so much that. It's that the state gas tax is about the lowest of any other state. We make up for it in just about every other tax though.

yeah... well ... we have the highest car insurance cause our density per capita is the highest

Nope. Despite their denials and lies, Canadian gas stations fix the prices so unless you catch the odd one that has dropped the price a bit early, prices are standard. Occassionaly there will be a few cents off and if you're lucky, you can catch some before the prices drop but the companis fix prices in Canada so it's pretty much the same everywhere you go.

Well, if the drivers weren't so dense, maybe the rates would come down.

And yet despite our density, you're probably safer on your bike up here than where you live.

I haven't bought gas in 2 weeks and I didn't quite need to yet when I went passed my usual spot this morning. I did notice it was $3.41 for regular, same as it was 2 weeks ago. I don't know what it might have been between then and now.

No, they're about $.10 higher than the gas stations a few miles away, but they're not the most expensive either.
