Curious Pricing

Things like this warm my little recession-ridden heart. $3.99 a gallon found in Dixon, California. But the thing that kills me is why must I travel over 50 miles to find a great gas deal?
You’d think places in the middle of nowhere would keep their prices high because we weary travelers have no other choice. Then cheap gas prices would left up to the urban areas where they have to compete with public transportation.
Wishful thinking I’m sure, but come on it makes sense. Gas prices are on the rise, people resort to public transit, thus decreasing the sale of oil, slightly yes, but still making an impact. If city-dwelling gas stations were smart, they’d lure back the gas guzzlers by lowering prices a tad.
PS Its very VERY sad that excited about $3.99 gas.
