Every other community around is drastically cheaper. Ozark is $2.36, Nixa $2.31, Republic and Aurora are $2.28. I would venture to say that the Conoco stations, for example, in Springfield are getting their gas from the same refinery, same distributor, heck probably even the same truck as the Conoco stations in Republic. It sure looks to me like someone is gouging an extra 20¢ per gallon from consumers. How do you explain it? And before you ask, no, this is not an anomaly. This is consistently how gas prices run in this area. I live south of Ozark and Nixa and drive to Springfield for work, so I see it everyday and always buy my gas in Ozark or Nixa.
Pretty much for the same reason that housing prices are different between cities. Are houses more expensive in Springfield compared to Nixa?
