I've seen differences up to $0.30. Pay me $4 to make a left turn? Sign me up.

Driving in Florida, I'll gladly pay $4 to _skip_ a left turn... :)

I fill up once every 4-5 weeks. I'd gladly pay $4 for a cleaner, well lit, easier to access and less busy gas station. I'm balancing all these things in the 5-10 seconds I have when I'm trying to choose between gas stations.
