Question Some Peoples Kids

Why would anyone, espically with gas prices as high as they are support a gas station that has the highest prices in the county (always has for a matter of fact) for all levels of fuel including diesel? Seeing that there are at least 4 or more other station in the area that are almost 20-30 cents cheaper. Yet, I still see at least 5-6 cars when I pass by in line waiting. What gives? Maybe they enjoy giving more of their money away. I sure as heck don' t! Brand loyalty for Texaco, I hope not. Maybe some of you can figure it out.

Ignorance is bliss? I usually pay about $.03 more. But that's because the other station is a little out of the way and it's a diamond shamrock and I've gotten some bad fuel there before. So I pay an extra $.03 for convience and good fuel.

Some folks only gas up where they have a gas card, some probably are hoping to get more free air miles, some maybe a higher Credit Card rebate at the end of the year, some just don't know any better.

OR - they have a company gas card and go to the shortest line.

I have run into people that say they just get gas, don't even look at the price. With the amount I use I'm always looking at the price.
