most consistently expensive

Sometimes I wonder how companies like Chevron even exist.

Sometimes I think many people *like* paying top dollar for gasoline.

I will say they usually have a restroom and air, water, window-washing equipment... but is it worth $1 a gallon more?

I'm almost certain that Chevron is one of the cheaper brands around here, just above Speedway and Valero (though I think Valero got bought out) and supermarket gas. The expensive one around here is Shell.

But as mentioned it depends a lot on the owner's arrangements, the citywide deals they cut, various location & price war details, etc. There's about a 30-cent span in gas prices on my 5 mile drive to work, since I go toward major highways now.

Since you mention having bathrooms as some kind of upsell thing, I was a bit annoyed at how gas stations stopped having bathrooms over the years. I guess public restrooms get "abused" but nevertheless, shouldn't there be some kind of law about a public restroom every X miles or something? What is this, Seattle? :)
