If you think about it, the price of gas in one end of Calgary is almost always the same in the other end of the city to the tenth of a cent. Same goes for Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg.
Meanwhile, go to Toronto, Montreal or pretty much any American city and the price of gas differs from one block to another - even if the stations are across the street from one another!
You can't tell me that something isn't going on with gas prices in the prairies.

Actually, driving down 17 coming back from the fireworks last week we noted every couple blocks closer to downtown you got, the price seemed to increase by a penny. I've also noted prices west of downtown are higher than east. Yes, all the stations in an area have the same price listed, but the city seems to have variable pricing depending on the area.
I also believe Vancouver has an extra "lower mainland" tax so Vancouver proper has a higher price than Burnaby or Langley.
