Right, but the in order for the other station to not go out of business they have to match. But are incentivised to beat that price by a further 10c to increase the amount of business they get See where I’m going?

If there’s competition, yes.
If there’s scarcity, where the supplier side has more leverage, the math changes. They may well just volunteer to make more profit.
Where I live, the difference of one block is 50 cents over two intervals. One number on this street, 50 cents cheaper a block further and another 50 cents cheaper another block down. $1 in difference.
They’re all in business and have been this way for years.

I actually don’t believe you. $1 difference in petrol price and people still go to the expensive one? You’d have to be a moron surely

I’m not telling you where I live, but it’s near an interstate.
I’m not lying and I don’t enjoy the accusation.
You also, after the veiled ad hom, did nothing to address the topic.
