Bingo. It has nothing to do with mileage. When I lived in NY, gas was always at least 20 cents a gallon cheaper upstate, 100 miles from the distribution center, than it was on Long Island 30 miles away.

Right now gas is 10 cents a gallon cheaper in Buzzards Bay than it is on the other side of the Bourne Bridge. But if the distributors want to keep on thinking that the mainland part of Bourne is in Plymouth County, who am I to correct them

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
