I doubt it's a distribution thing. Don't forget that retailers can and do set their owns prices (for the most part). The retailers in Republic might set their prices lower respective of each other than compared to the other town. If one station in Republic suddenly sets their price five or ten cents higher than the other stations, people will go to the other stations.
