here's a very localized problem, but it's an eye opener... some gas station chain named Krist charges over 40 cents more than the other gas stations in the same towns, for premium, in winter, and the snowmobilers are convinced it's because that's the only gas they buy for their expensive hi po snow machines

The pump price photos were taken on Wednesday (New year's day) in Land 'O Lakes, WI. Krist is charging $0.44 per gallon more than the BP station in town

Also, consumers are outraged because the prices advertised on the signs above the stations to lure in customers do NOT have to show the 91 octane price, they show the 87 octane price. Customers then GUESS that the 91 will be somewhere close to the 87 octane price, and head to the station with the lowest ADVERTISED price for 87.

When at the pumps, they then see that though they made a guess that the price would be roughly cheaper at the station advertising a lower price on the big sign over the station, it is 40 or more sense higher at KRIST  stations than the competition.

This is making a lot of snowmobilers in Northern Wisconsin angry.
