I assume that big stations that are still near 4 bucks a gallon are raking it in.
I am also questioning the cost of high octane. I have seen as much as a .50 price difference from one station that carried 93 to another.

And I noticed that the Jersey shore right now is the highest in the state. Coming back from Seaside, outside of Wawa, everyone is 3.85+
Coming back from Point tonight, gas was 3.83-3.85.

dear god yes

if you can afford the car, i'm sure that 110 doesn't hurt all that much. probably somewhere around 300 grit, not 150

At my parents stores credit card companies generally charge anywhere from 2%-3.5% a transaction. Its pretty frigin insane. Discover and American Express take the highest of the major cards from my stores profits. So I can see gas stations charging an extra 5-9 cents a gallon...but I know they are pumpin prices for their own benefit...

....mostly all the gas around here comes from Valero refinery in Gibbstown/Paulsboro. Every carrier(and middle-man delivery company) gets charged the same delivery flat rate as a station in Gibbstown or one in Cherry Hill. Like I said before, an owner I personally know is taking full advantage of the situation and purposely jacks up his prices way over what he's paying....and 85% of the stations are doing it. Thats why some are $3.64 (Sunoco in Pitman) for regular right now and others are $3.88 (BP off of 295 in Paulsboro). I'm sure theres honest station owners...but the majority are sticking it to you. If I had a station I'd do it too....

Some other forum said "well since there is X amount of inflation, thats only like...7 billion dollars."
I said "oh...well that changes EVERYTHING."
