The only reason I brought up Republic is because it is a town in a similar situation (out in the boonies), yet hasn't seen the same price fixing. It was for comparison only. I know the 15 cents is only a couple of bucks per fillup but it's the principle of the thing.

I know you're trolling but c'mon.
Question: how do you know that the supplier costs are exactly the same between the stations in Coleville and Republic?
