I was in Buzzards Bay on Saturday, and wondered the same thing.....got gas for $1.49 on Route 6 downtown.....and it's not just the cheapo place, though that is where I stopped, but a few other "brand names" around....last week near M&D's it was $1.59 at a cheap-o place, but also the same price at the Exxon right down the street....
Up here in Foxboro, cheapest around is about $1.75.....so what gives?....
PS....as far as ill effects.....the Volvo ran great back from the canal on Saturday after gassing up with the cheapo stuff.....was okay all day Sunday.....this AM, I was going out to the grocery, and it was running rough and backfiring.....sounded like gunshots, thought the neighbors were gonna call the police....
But after pulling back in the driveway, and revving the engine for about 3 minutes, back to normal......so........that has happened to the Volvo once or twice before, and I always worry that the MAP sensor is gone when that happens (not to mention the recent timing belt work), but then the problem just disappears......probably some condensation from the onset of the humid weather in either the distributer cap or in the gas line.....but she's running fine now.....
