Hey, big spender...

To get off the subject (the election) for a moment, could someone explain:

In my neighborhood, there are two gas stations exactly a block apart.

The Shell station has gas at $3.19.9 per gallon. One block away, 7-11 is selling gas for $2.94.9 per gallon.

The way I figure it, that's a difference of 25 cents a gallon. With a 20-gallon tank that's $5.00.

Yet whenever I drive past, the Shell station seems to be doing great business.

Do people really like throwing their money away? Do they have so much that it doesn't matter?

Please explain.

And so it goes.
