But the more I think about it, the higher the price of fuel, the more try can get away with a bigger difference between grades, as it is proportionately still fairly appropriate. 50+ cents to hi-test is a bit extreme though.

I also notice that if a place is isolated or has a high density of those who have a high income (or both), it seems the more stations will try to 'test a higher price'. Of course re isolation, some of that increase in price is due to transportation costs.
