Example idea · Gas prices swing 40 cents between stations in the same town

Two stations nine minutes apart, same grade, a 40-cent difference. Nobody can tell you why.

The problem

On my commute the same grade of fuel is $3.11 at one station and $3.51 at another. Both are busy, both are on the same road, and neither has changed hands. Everyone in town has a theory. Nobody has a record. So I started writing it down, and I would like my neighbours to do the same.

What a fair fix looks like

A shared, dated list of what people actually paid at each station. Cheap to keep, hard to argue with, and useful the same afternoon.
