Donger, would you mind explaining why some stations can charge more than a $1.00 more than others? I realize that Coscto prices are less expensive due to yearly membership but it's only 20-30 cents more at Burbank gas stations, yet it's $4 dollars or more in Hollywood.
It's less expensive in Beverly Hills than Hollywood. It's just bizarre.

It's probably a combination of two things:
1) Possible local taxation varies between the two.
2) It's more likely that for some bizarre California reason, people are willing to pay more in Hollywood than Burbank. I've said it before, but we have a station that is always $0.40 higher than two other stations a mile down the road. They can charge that because it's located very conveniently for all the MILFs in the neighborhood who will pay another $0.40 for the convenience. Or they simply aren't aware that their prices are high...
