Why is gas almost 50 cents cheaper here (the middle of nowhere) than where I live, Columbia City (the middle of somewhere)?
Because I can't find an exact reason at the moment (proximity to oil extraction and production? cheaper labor? greater dependence?), I'm going to guess that one (the rural) is subsidized more than the other (the urban).
