No, that isn't what happened. I mixed the towns up and apologized for the error.

Here is what I was griping about:

Spokane is A, Colville is B and Republic is C. 71 miles between A and B and 52 miles between B and C. Republic has stayed consistent and Colville has doubled in the difference between local gas and Spokane. Makes no sense to me.

Yes, I'm saying that the station owners can set their pricing wherever they want to, if they are independents.
