The wide disparity over short geographic areas (even within the same company) makes me believe market studies have been done and those companies are maximizing profits (ie. gouging) by charging much more at more heavily trafficked areas that have shown they will accept higher prices. I've even seen same company opposite ends of the same street with 10-15 cent price discrepancies.

Most gasoline in Lincoln is supplied by Whitehead Oil. They take advantage of that monopoly whenever they can, and the local politicians never say anything.

One of the descendants of Old Man Whitehead ran for City Council or Mayor a few years ago, and got absolutely trounced. People from all sides hate gas-gougers.

A lot of the disparity is because of where the fuel comes from, especially with Casey's.

This is true.

I do some work in economic development in my area.  We tried getting a large truck stop to come to town.  They were very interested.  That is until they realized our location requires more truck transportation for fuel which would make it more expensive.  Fuel in our area tends to be a little higher than if you go down the interstate either west or east.
