I think it's location, Pat. At the major airports, GRR, AZO, BTL, the price is all around $3.00. At the outlying airports, run by cities / counties, it's considerably cheaper. When Gerry and I were headed for PWA, we stopped at TBN, where it was $2.20. We could have stopped at UBX, where it is $2.00.
After PWA, I went on to DAL, and the prices on that airport ranged from 2.99 to 3.53. Astounding. I stopped at Regal, great reviews, paid 3.03, got free night in the hangar.
Over at MDW, where I am going this week, it is 3.82 to 3.90. Gary, 18 miles away, is 2.60.
The range in prices, one airport to another, is just astounding.
