Same higher price right outside the gates at Shell refinery in Pasadena
(Houston) TX.
Normally 8-10 cents higher than five blocks away.
I think it is just so they never compete with dealers of Shell / their
fuels.
I also think the refinery workers get special discounts at this station
.............. because they're always busy.
