Weigels at West Hills was selling it for $3.53 this morning while Shell had it across the street for a few cents less.

Frankly, gas prices are all over the place...well, all over the place.

My experience driving past those three stations at least once a week is that sometimes the Cash-n-Carry is actually cheaper than the other stations. The BP used to consistently be the most expensive station, even competing with the Weigel's up the street it tended to be about five cents more per gallon. That changed around the time the Wal-Mart over on Chapman Highway put in cheap gas a couple of years ago.

Recently, since prices started going up so fast, the C-n-C has been a bit higher. I think the C-n-C doesn't sell as much gas and doesn't get their tanks refilled as often, so they have to plan for buying their refills at a higher price point. They tend to set a price and leave it there for a while. Also, a lot of the stations are trying to compete with the prices at Wal-Mart and now Kroger's, and I doubt the C-n-C has deep enough pockets.

I'm just trying to find real gas that isn't 10% ethanol. All the stations convenient to me seem to have switched over and I don't want to participate in that environmental and economic disaster.

The Kenjo on Central used to be a bit cheaper a few months ago, but not lately, they went up about 8 cents over night to 3.54. All last summer and usually all the time Maryville was a few cents more than Knox, but I think they are in the low 3.40 range this week. I think the Fnt. City area runs cheaper than the downtown area. Thank goodness I live near work, but I'm spending about the same on gas as several years ago when I worked in Pigeon Forge and drove a big car. At that time the 1.29 or so Sevier Co. gas was much higher than Knoxvile.
