Puzzled by gas prices

Come on people in Sikeston I’ve been living here 40 years. Let’s boycott these gas stations over here that think us citizens in Sikeston are stupid. They think they can charge us 40 cents more a gallon when you go seven miles down the road and get it for $2.91. Come on! Let’s pull together. Let’s show these stations something. Let’s boycott these stations Let’s show them we ain’t being screwed no more.

Good morning. Today is Tuesday, Dec. 6. The question is why is regular gasoline 30 cents cheaper in Benton, Missouri, than it is on Sikeston on this date?
