The "GAS BUDDY" app for your cell phone (and computer) can be your friend, but sometimes you have to get away from the interstate highway to get the better prices.
In many cases fuel prices are not set by the station management but by the oil jobber that supplies / owns the station and or fueling equipment.
In many cases the oil jobber can even change the prices remotely.
Price changes change relative to the price of a barrel of "Crude" and oil jobbers watch this closely.
Fuel prices will also often fluctuate relative to the day of the week, with the lowest price on Wednesday , the other days being just before the weekend to get the play crowd and the early part of the week to get the going back to work crowd.
I do have something of an inside track on this due to the nature of one of my sons work and the equipment and people he work's with.
Good Hunting !
