Gas Prices Where You Live

It got down to $2.73 at Wawa in Fort Pierce. It’s now back to $3.19. It’s as though the price fluctuates with supply and demand. 🤔
Anyone here go out of their way for cheaper gas? And to what extent?
Theres a shitty 4-pump gas station near me that offers maybe 30 to 40cents less per gallon than other gas stations less than a mile away. Sometimes the credit card reader doesn't work and you have to pay inside. And yet, people line up for this station. I've seen even 2-3 cars in line for the two pumps on one side. And again, down the road theres a much nicer gas station and its 30 cents more. It's also a pain to pull in and out of, and everyone seems to be in each other's way.
I don't know, maybe if you're driving a lot it adds up. But I can't imagine waiting several cars worth just to get roughly a 10% discount.
But maybe that says something about where the economy is, because again, people are lining up for the cheaper gas.

There is a station right across from the entrance to our community on US-1. It's always about 7-10 cents cheaper than Wawa. I rarely get gas there unless it's really early in the AM or late PM, because otherwise the place is packed and there is no red light. If I stop there, I have to go a mile out of my way or risk being involved in a wreck trying to get back across 4 lanes of traffic and a turn lane that most people treat like an exit/on ramp. If you're heading south, it's not much of an issue except waiting for a pump to come open. If you need to go north, or like me, straight across, you're risking a wreck. I prefer to stop at the Wawa and pay an extra $2 so I can go out of any one of their three exits, one of which is a red light, and if I'm hungry, I can get something tasty out of their kitchen.
It’s almost like the POTUS doesn’t control gas prices🤔 After falling back to $$3.07 for a few days, it’s up to $3.31 at the Wawa this AM.
