38 miles is a big difference in supply and demand. Ever heard of that? Greenville, NC has higher gas prices than surrounding areas because it's a college town, and there's a lot more demand. There are gas places on almost every corner every place I've been, so there is plenty of competition everywhere.
Also, distributors give better deals to retailers with more locations and higher gas sales. People think a few pennies is a big deal, mainly because it used to be when gas was just 47.9 a gallon. Now it's less difference than the price of beans between different supermarkets. People seem to apply different rules to gasoline for some reason.
