Another thing I don't understand!

There are many things in life I simply don't understand, and here's another one!

My wife and I drove to Washington, D.C., last Thursday after filling her car with gasoline at $2.699 a gallon. We stopped in Clarksburg and again in Grantsville, Md., for her to go to three quilt shops. At each locale gasoline was in the $2.699-a-gallon range.

But, when we stopped in Hancock, Md., which is near the I-68/I-70 split, gasoline at all but one service station in the town was $2.459 a gallon.

Why?

In Washington, gasoline ranged from $2.669 to $2.799 at the stations we saw.

When we stopped in Hancock on the way back to Parkersburg Sunday afternoon, gasoline was still at $2.459 ... and we filled up. When we arrived in Parkersburg, gasoline at the stations we passed was $2.699.

Again, why?
