This has been quiet for a while and I thought with my weekend experience I would bring this topic to the top of the list.
This past weekend we traveled to J.W Wells State Park in Uppper Michigan.
When we left Appleton gas was 3.05/Gallon. Now years ago gas prices were set somewhat on convenience and the distance from the port . A larger city would have less cost per gallon as transportation would be less of a factor. With that small town with less competition would be higher in cost.
So now we are traveling from Appleton north on 41. DePere Green Bay have comparable gas prices to Appleton. Oconto gas was 2.99/gallon or a nickle cheaper. The same price of 2.99 was noted in Peshtigo 2.99/gallon.
We get to Marinette/Menomonee and it jumps up to 3.05/gallon in both cities, making it obvious that state taxes have no affect on gas prices.
We get to cedar River and gas is back down to 2.99/gallon.
As you may have seen in my other posts from this weekend we travled to other small town like Stephenson where it had 2 gas stations.
One was 2.92/gallon and the other was a deal and very cheap at get this 2.88/gallon.
WHAT A DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!Happy days are here again, ma get out the gas hog Caddy we are going for a RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!
Now I can never imagine that I would think 2.88/gallon was cheap but by todays standards it IS.
I also missed the boat as I should have taken a picture of the price board for this story.
Why so cheap in small towns and so expensive in larger towns? :roll:
Let get some feedback on this. What is your opinion on the GAS pricing structure today?
