This is true!  Here in Toledo Ohio we have 2
refineries.  BP and Sunoco.  Gas prices have remained
lower than most other places... like Michigan.
Currently prices are at $1.58 a gallon depending on
location in town.  Here the price can flux between two
and ten cents by neighborhood.
Just my thoughts... nothing more.
