I usually purchase gasoline for my vehicle at the same place I do my major shopping, or at a locally owned station down the street. Both are known for having the lowest prices in town. Sometimes, I purchase gasoline from a local supermarket, where the price of gasoline is usually within a cent or two of the lower priced vendors. None of these vendors is more than a mile and a half away.
At least once a year, though, I purchase gasoline at the local convenience store, which is only about 7 blocks, or less than a half mile, from the house. This is the day I purchase gasoline for the lawn mower. I am very nervous about driving around with a container of gasoline in the vehicle, although I only purchase a gallon, and it is in a government approved container. So, I go to the closest vendor of gasoline, no matter the price. Today, the price was within a cent of what I would have otherwise paid. But the cost difference on a few gallons of gasoline is well worth my peace of mind.
