Exxon

About 3 blocks away from our apartment, there are two gas stations on one side of the street on opposing corners of the intersection. One of the gas stations is Hess and the other is Exxon. I am pretty sure that I have never walked by these two gas stations and seen the price at the Exxon station to be cheaper than the Hess station. For instance, today driving back from a day of shopping at this mega mall called Tyson's Corner, Hess was $2.18 and Exxon was $2.36 (or $2.34). I am always surprised to see people pumping gas at this Exxon station when gas is usually a good 10 cents more expensive at this station when compared with the station another 100 feet north. I almost feel like doing a documentary type video with my camera and going up and asking people why there are pumping gas at the more expensive station, when there's a cheaper station within eyesight. I am sure it would get some interesting remarks.
