Cheap gas often comes from stations that have cheap owners, and low-life employees. Having once been in a business that sold, installed and serviced gas pumps and tanks, I choose not to buy gas from the cheap, older stations. What gets pumped in the tank may be the same but what comes back out is often not the same.
Then there's the temptation that some station owners can't resist, that of selling lower-than-labeled (octane) fuel in some of the tanks. Or ethanol fuels in tanks labeled as 100% gas...
I'm paying 1.89 for ethanol-free premium from a new-ish store a mile from my house that sells a good brand of gas. I see no reason to look for cheaper gas.
