Zone Pricing?

Question:
I am currently reading this book called "Oil on the Brain" it shows how major fuel companies "zone price". What zone pricing is...is a fuel station along an interstate will show 15 cents higher than a fuel station with other competing stations around it in town. What do you think about this and why?

Who has right of way (US- Alabama)?

Please give your honest opinion on this...your help will be used in my essay in my Advanced Comp class.

Whats the speed limit on your nearest freeway/expressway/highway?

Probably most people (myself included) aren't going to be thrilled about it. Nobody likes paying more than they have to. It's one of those things you just have to accept. It's supply and demand in action. The fuel companies know nobody wants to get off the highway to shop around for a fill-up. They know people would rather stop at a station that's on the interstate, so they jack up the prices. Even if the higher price keeps some people from stopping, there will still be customers. Plus, I think most people fill up on the interstate, rather than around town where you might only put a few gallons in the tank.
Personally, I rarely stop on the highway for gas (ar anything else). I prefer to fill up before I leave for wherever I'm going and gas up again if I need to once I've gotten there. I found that at the Maryland House and Chesapeake House rest stops on I-95, gas was actually cheaper than it was locally in MD or PA (my starting and ending points).
You'll also find that gas stations of the same company (i.e. BP, Exxon, Shell, etc.) will vary in price depending on location. Stations in the part of town inhabited by doctors and lawyers will charge more than those in bluecollar districts (for instance). The price gets higher where the money is.
