Gas stations charge different prices for a gallon of gas because of a couple different reasons. The first is the quality and additives in the gasoline itself. The higher the quality of the mixture, the higher the price. Second, companies like ARCO are able to offer lower prices because of their payment options. Because you cannot pay with a credit card, they save money because they do not have to pay fees to the credit card companies, and can therefore offer lower prices to the customer.
