Are they the same oil company? If so, then it has to do with zip code pricing. Usually, gas stations in upper class neighborhoods charge more than middle-lower class. For example, in Beverly Hills, gas is like $3.79. But in Compton, it's like $3.19. It's up to the corporate office to determine how much gas they can charge.

a huge variety of factors. seasonal demand, competition, supply chain and production capacity, poltical events, consumer demand, and even the weather.
if you can figure it all out you would be the richest man on wall street.
